Vi-Co

Vi-Co was a brand of chocolate milk manufactured by the company Dairy Producers. When Dairy Producers were bought out by Dairyland in 1995, the Vi-Co line was abolished. It was available in Saskatchewan, Canada, a few parts of Manitoba , New Brunswick and Quebec. Laiterie Royala in Beauce, Quebec still uses the name Vico for one of their chocolate milk products.

The term 'Vi-Co' is still occasionally used today in Saskatchewan and Quebec as a slang term for any chocolate milk.[1] It is a notable regional attribute for both provinces and is frequently cited as a defining feature of Saskatchewan's folk history.[2]

An alcoholic beverage, a variation of the White Russian, was made with vodka, ice, and Vi-Co, and known as the "Psycho Vi-Co".

Vi-Co was available in Ontario as far back as the 1930s. The Bowmanville Dairy, owned by the Bettles family at the time, introduced Vi-Co in their page 4 ad in the Canadian Statesman on Aug 27, 1936. [3]
