History[edit | edit source]

The Nesquik Bunny, known as Quicky, is the mascot for the Nesquik brand. He is often depicted on the cereal box and in advertisements. The Nesquik Bunny was first introduced in 1973 and has been a staple of the brand's marketing efforts ever since.

Reception[edit | edit source]

Nesquik cereal has been well received by consumers, particularly children, for its taste and the fact that it turns milk into chocolate milk. However, it has also been criticized for its high sugar content.
