However, I remember them being sold in an incredibly tightly-wrapped tube, rather than a sachet.

I haven't drunk Horlicks for years but do have fond memories of drinking it just before going to bed when I was about 10.

I had forgotten that the brand is now owned by GSK.

The web site does not seem to mention tablets or any of the other variants (sweets for example) that I noticed from the search results.

However there are some innovative recipes available - well, there's this one that was the first on view and dared not wonder what the others might offer ...

Lamb with a Horlicks crown I think it claims to be.


Gerard - sorry, the web pages indicate that they are for a UK audience only.

I don't think that is for Xenophobic reasons - more likely GSK don't wish to be accused of causing death by laughter to non-UK dwellers should they read the contents - especially the recipes.
