Nesquik was first introduced in 1948, originally named Nestlé Quik, the chocolate milk powder was sold for a quick and easy way to make chocolate milk. In the 1950’s, Nesquik was gaining popularity and produced commercials with jingles that kids memorized. In the same decade, they introduced strawberry milk powder and is still produced today. In the 1970’s Nesquik’s signature bunny had his debut in a cartoon commercial. In the 1980’s Nesquik finally started producing chocolate milk that was pre-mixed and pre-bottled, and chocolate syrup is available to American homes too. In the 1990’s, Nestlé’s Quik was changed to the current name, Nesquik.]]> 2017-04-25 17:57:32 UTC https://padlet.com/michael_cheng/nesquikplastic/wish/168191668 michael_cheng https://padlet.com/michael_cheng/nesquikplastic/wish/169239569 Sustainability: the ability to be maintained at a certain rate or level

Nesquik uses #1 (PET) plastic This eliminates paper label waste as well as making the filling operation more efficient.]]> 2017-05-01 17:36:32 UTC https://padlet.com/michael_cheng/nesquikplastic/wish/169239569 michael_cheng https://padlet.com/michael_cheng/nesquikplastic/wish/169239632

Plastic attracts dangerous pollutants

Does not biodegrade

Can enter food chain and transfer harmful chemicals to food chain

Leaches toxins into water

Plastic on land can leach into groundwater

Breaks down into smaller and smaller pieces until they are microscopic and are accidentally ingested

Once plastic particles are small enough, they are nearly impossible to clean up

Kills wildlife when eaten

It's very useful and efficient. However, it also has many negative effects on the environment. We are trying to help solve some of those problems to help the environment and keep plastic healthy. ]]> 2017-05-01 17:39:48 UTC https://padlet.com/michael_cheng/nesquikplastic/wish/169240535 michael_cheng https://padlet.com/michael_cheng/nesquikplastic/wish/169242517 INGREDIENTS: SUGAR, COCOA PROCESSED WITH ALKALI, SOY LECITHIN, CARRAGEENAN, SALT, NATURAL FLAVOR, SPICE.

A magnet only used to pick up plastic can be created by making plastic attracted to the magnet with charges. All substances can be magnetic, so we can make plastic magnetic too by charging the water with electricity.]]> 2017-05-01 17:59:23 UTC https://padlet.com/michael_cheng/nesquikplastic/wish/169246670 michael_cheng https://padlet.com/michael_cheng/nesquikplastic/wish/171325626 2017-05-11 17:38:49 UTC https://padlet.com/michael_cheng/nesquikplastic/wish/171325626 michael_cheng https://padlet.com/michael_cheng/nesquikplastic/wish/171327936 2017-05-11 17:46:04 UTC https://padlet.com/michael_cheng/nesquikplastic/wish/171327936 michael_cheng https://padlet.com/michael_cheng/nesquikplastic/wish/171328317 2017-05-11 17:47:12 UTC https://padlet.com/michael_cheng/nesquikplastic/wish/171328317 michael_cheng https://padlet.com/michael_cheng/nesquikplastic/wish/171329041 2017-05-11 17:49:37 UTC https://padlet.com/michael_cheng/nesquikplastic/wish/171329041
