    5 Stars Saturday night, I'm young, and I only want 09/03/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Its good for you

    Disadvantages Disadvantages needs fudge with it

    Even if you?ve never tasted it you will probably remember the advertising campaign in 2000 with the woman tearing her hair out and the slogan ?So who didn?t have their Horlicks last night?? Horlicks prides itself on its ingredients not only being good for you, but able to help you ?sleep better? and to ?feel better.? (although the company admit this slogan is not applicable to the chocolate drink, only to the malted ones.) Its Saturday night and I'm exhausted from a stressful week at work, and I am quite happily curled up in my PJs with a mug of my fav tipple. All my peers are out on the ... more

    5 Stars SLEEP SPONSORED BY HORLICKS 01/06/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Tasty, luxurious, sleepy time drink.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None really, unless you don't like flavour of malt.

    In the past couple of months I’ve been experiencing some trouble sleeping, not every night, but certainly a few nights a week I’ve been tossing and turning almost till the sun comes up!! Not great when you have to be up for work at 7.00am. I’ll not explain here why I’ve been an insomniac, suffice to say – split with girlfriend / forthcoming house move / seeking a new job – stress city! Now I don’t get stressed as such, or I don’t think I do, but I do worry when there’s too much happening at once in my life. So when I had trouble sleeping I did some research as to what I could do to help – ... more

    5 Stars Sleepy Time.... 12/03/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Tastes lovely, nutritious, helps you to sleep

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not suitable for vegetarians

    I am a shift worker so quite often I need to sleep at weird times throughout the day, at times when I am not always tired. What is it? Horlicks is an instant malted drink which can be made with either milk or hot water depending on your preference. It is said to help you sleep and it certainly does this for me. In addition to the sleep inducing benefits, a single mug of Horlicks is a great source of calcium and major vitamins, much better than popping a vitamin pill. Range The Horlicks range includes Horlicks Original which is the more traditional product which most people will be familiar ... more

    5 Stars KNOCK THOSE SLEEPLESS NIGHTS ON THE HEAD 13/11/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Tasty, helps you sleep, low fat

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none

    I'm quite prone to sleepless nights. You'd think that running after 2 young children would make me so tired that I'd drop off to sleep as soon as my head touched the pillow and then wake up 8 or so hours later ready to face the world. WRONG! Every night for the past few weeks I've been waking up during the wee small hours and have found it hard to get back to sleep. Believe me after a week or so of restless nights I'm not a nice person to be around. I'm snappy at the slightest thing, so I decide to change my routine around bedtime. The first thing to go are my cups of tea and coffee before I ... more

    3 Stars Give me the Original Any Day 30/12/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Low fat instant version is good for those watching their calories

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Doesn't taste as good as the original

    There’s nowt nicer than a nice mug of Horlicks before you go to bed in an evening. Experience has taught me that it’s great tool for helping you nod off. It’s deliciously creamy and just tastes of childhood. Besides, it’s good for you –after all it’s packed with malty goodness. Well, that’s what I’ve always told myself. Problem is, I like my Horlicks made the traditional way with lashings of hot, full-fat milk. Not really the best thing for a girl that’s acutely aware that she’s eaten too much chocolate and cheese and downed too much ... more

    5 Stars Lovely, thick and creamy 22/05/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Lovely taste, thick and creamy, useful if off my food

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Fiddly to microwave, flip top pops open sometimes

    Horlicks is a malted hot drink made with milk, which is marketed as the ideal drink for bedtime based on the old wives tale that a warm milky drink before you go to bed relaxes you and promotes a restful night’s sleep. I'm not really one for sleep aids as I would rather address the issues that are likely to keep me awake, I do listen to music if I can't sleep though. I tend to drink Horlicks when I am off my food as it contains vitamins and minerals, it is not a substitute for a balanced diet though. I sometimes have it as a change from tea and coffee as well - especially the Light chocolate ... more

    4 Stars Sleep Better With Horlicks Tonight! 29/07/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Helps you relax and sleep better at night

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not suitable for vegetarians

    There's nothing more frustrating than that feeling of overtiredness, when you're tossing and turning at night and waking up every half an hour watching the clock only to find that you've finally dozed off just before the alarm clock rudely awakes you. This has happened to me a fair bit recently and believe me if it is something that you've ever experienced then you will know that it is not nice. There didn't seem to be any obvious reason for my disruptive sleep patterns but it became obvious that I had to try and prevent it and so I began experimenting by changing my routine before bedtime. To ... more

    4 Stars Oh Horlicks you do it for me! Review with images 16/02/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Low in Fat, smooth tasting.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None but for me it is the malted one.

    Please excuse the title, really couldn’t think of anything suitable. I would never have tried Horlicks if hubby hadn’t brought some home the other week. So what was he’s intensions of buying this so he gets peace at night as it makes me sleep? **Brief History** In 1873 Mr. James Horlick and Mr. William Horlick who are from Gloucestershire founded the company in the USA to manufacture malted milk drinks. In 1883 patent was granted for the first malted milk drink, with the factory being in Slough from 1906. There was an extensive use of Horlicks in the First World War. In 1921 Mr. James Horlick ... more

    5 Stars Horlicks 18/02/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages surprised how nice a malt drink can be!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages not much

    Horlicks Malted Milk Drink: I had my first mug of this last night and I was surprised because I really liked it. When my boyfriend told me this was a malted drink, I got a little anxious and I didn't know whether to try it or not. His nan bought quite a large tub of this, so when I opened it to have a sniff, I was not impressed. It smelt peculiar, of something I had never smelt before, so anyway I gave it a go! This no longer comes in the glass jar, this comes in a plastic tub with a flip up lid which is 300g. The style of the label has also changed and is a lot more modern compared to the ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages It's Instant

    Disadvantages Disadvantages A little expensive

    My 4 year old had decided that bedtime was playtime and she was going to empty her drawers and play dressing up at 10.30 at night until midnight when we believed that she was fast asleep tucked up in bed like me and hubby. Also I think it was the fact that her 9 year old brother had told her that Vampires came to eat you when you were asleep didn't help either ! I wracked my brains ..... calpol ? No I can't give my child calpol every night, as tempting as it may be. just then an advert popped up on the telly, HORLICKS !! Fantastic ! So next day , as hubby was at work, child number one was at ... more
