Valomilk memories... As a child, my parents would often take us to visit my great-auntie who lived in
the next town over. Great-auntie had a cool house full of all sorts of (what we thought) exotic knick knacks; but the best part was she
always had foods that Mom didn't buy for us.
At home we occasionally got mallo-cups, but great-auntie had Valomilks - the Cadillac of the genre.
The filling was so creamy and runny that they were almost impossible to eat without getting some of the filling on your shirt (for which
we'd get scolded for).
40 years after we had those treats and I'd almost forgotten about them, I see Valomilks on your site.
I can't wait to have one and let my mind wander back to those carefree days of innocence (and a great treat!). ~ Robert from Utah
I remember when I was 6 or 7 years old (I am now 48) my brother would bring Valomilks home and he
would sometimes share one with me if I didn't pester him too much that day. Back then they had little cardboard circles in each package and
if you got enough of them they would send you 10 Valomilks for free! A virtual goldmine for a young kid!!
I remember one day my Mom telling my Brother that he got something in the mail and when he saw the
cardboard mailing tube a smile came across his face. The free Valomilks had arrived! All of the collecting had finally paid off!! I smile
when I see a Valomilk to this day!! ~ Phillip from Indiana
I remember the first time I
had a Valomilk. It was back in the early 60s and my mother had
brought one home from work and gave it to me. I was hooked from the
start. As luck would have it we had one of those great little corner
stores three blocks from my house. The kind that had the penny candy
shelves behind the register. When I managed to get a nickel in my
pocket I would go down there and buy a Valomilk.
I remember one time when I
opened one there was a small gold tin foil disc inside and wrapped
inside of it was a nickel. What a big treat that was for a kid in
the 60s. I headed right back to the store and bought another one. To
this day they are still number one in my book. ~ Rick from Minnesota
