All praise the giant roadside Milo tin, which is set to become a reality

Australia is perhaps famed for its gluttony of big things on the sides of roads.

There's the Big Banana, the Big Prawn, the Big Trout, the Big Golden Gumboot, and so on and so forth. Now the Big Milo (no, not that other one) might just be around the corner.

Milo, the chocolate and malt drink that's a hit in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia and in many other parts of the world will be immortalised in a giant roadside tin in 2019.

It'll likely sit near Smithtown, the New South Wales town which is the home of Milo, to coincide with the drink brand's 85th birthday. 

"We’ve been blown away by the level of support for the ‘Big Milo Tin'. What started as a fun idea has quickly grown into something much bigger, and we’re delighted to give something back to Milo fans and celebrate the rich 83-year Australian heritage of the Milo brand," said factory manager Mat Oram in a statement.

"With the history of Milo deeply rooted in Smithtown, it will be wonderful to share this celebration with the local community and put this great town on the map."

Milo was invented by Thomas Mayne in the early 1930s to ensure children received enough nutrition. Now of course, people can't get enough of the stuff through adulthood.

All praise the giant Milo tin, when or if it comes.
