Modern Milk: Now in a Tesco near you

We’re pleased that so many people have told us that they enjoy Modern Milk on our Facebook page, but this isn’t enough for us! We’re working hard to make sure that everyone who wants to buy our fabulous flavours has the opportunity. So we’re delighted to announce that, as of last week, Banana & Honey and Coffee & Vanilla are both available at 270 selected Tesco stores across the country! And if you pick up a Tesco in-store magazine you’ll save yourself 30p with the voucher inside!


And, if that wasn’t exciting enough, for the next few weeks you may even get to taste Modern Milk when you do your grocery shopping. Tesco will also be offering samples of both flavours across a selection of their stores, so checking the list below for a date near you.

If you are a Chocolate & Caramel or Strawberry & Raspberry fan don’t be disheartened about your favourite flavour being absent from Tesco’s shelves – try Banana or Coffee instead, we promise that they are just as delicious! Don’t forget that all four flavours are still available at selected McColl’s stores.

Check out our full list of stockists on our website and if your local store doesn’t stock your favourite Modern Milk, why not ask them to get some in? And make sure you sign up to our Facebook page to keep up to date with all the latest news: www.facebook.com/modernmilk

Thinking Differently Heroes: Alastair Cook

The Ashes triumph still has England buzzing, and whilst the England cricket team played spectacularly it is a young man from Gloucester who has been credited with most of the glory.

It’s hard to believe that a columnist for the Daily Telegraph and the Metro, and a trained saxophonist who has contributed to the score for a children’s animated TV series, is the same man who holds the record as the only Englishman to score seven Test centuries before his 23rd birthday.


During the five tests of the 2010 – 2011 Ashes, 26 year old Alastair Cook set a new world record for the total number of batting hours during a five-test cricket series. His 36-hour cumulative stint at the crease also shattered an English record which also takes into account six-test series. The Ashes series also saw Cook reach 5,000 test runs across his career, as well as become England’s second highest series scorer ever.


Phew.

However, not only is Alastair Cook a fantastic cricketer, but unlike a lot of young men who are thrust into celebrity at a young age, he has chosen not to wholeheartedly embrace the limelight. So whilst England is still celebrating the sensational victory over Australia and the Aussies are licking their wounds, the man credited with the Man of the Series award is thinking about his next challenge: lambing season at his quiet farm in Bedfordshire.

Now that is really thinking differently.
