 * Symbol possible vote.svg Inaccurate representation of the source. He's joking here, not saying it factually contains a million categories. New hook needed. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:50, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I know he's joking... But it makes the hook more interesting. How about with quote marks? ☯ Bonkers The Clown  \(^_^)/  Nonsensical Babble  ☯ 03:16, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
 * "according to (source), Milo Dinosaur contains "a million calories"? may pass scrutiny, but I doubt it. A new, non-misleading hook is wanted. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:11, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I seriously doubt that anyone would really believe that it has a million calories. As serious as we want to be, no harm in having some fun, right? ☯  Bonkers The Clown  \(^_^)/  Nonsensical Babble  ☯ 05:20, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I was expecting a really big cup of Milo when I first read the hook, so I took it literally as you presented it. We are not in the habit of deliberately lying to readers. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:10, 28 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Seeing that this hook really will mislead, here's ALT1: ... that Milo Dinosaur, a Singaporean invention, is made by topping a cup of iced Milo with some Milo powder?
 * I'd probably go with Loh's other quote (best place in the world because of Milo Dinosaurs). After all, as far as I know Milo is only found in South-East Asia. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:30, 28 June 2013 (UTC)

 * I didn't know, actually. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:45, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
 * It's an Australian invention... ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/  Nonsensical Babble  ☯ 07:06, 28 June 2013 (UTC)

ALT2: ... that according to Larry Loh of CNNGo, Milo Dinosaurs are a reason why Singapore is the best country in the world? ☯ Bonkers The Clown  \(^_^)/  Nonsensical Babble  ☯ 06:40, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Much better hook. Article is new enough, long enough (barely!), and referenced. ALT2 is interesting and cited, others not so much. Good to go — Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:45, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the review! ☯ Bonkers The Clown  \(^_^)/  Nonsensical Babble  ☯ 07:06, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
 * No worries. Make sure to get a picture next time you have one ;). — Crisco 1492 (talk) 07:14, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Sure... Or I could probably make one myself, now that you mention. ☯ Bonkers The Clown  \(^_^)/  Nonsensical Babble  ☯ 07:26, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Only thing is that I'm out of Milo powder... ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/  Nonsensical Babble  ☯ 07:27, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I could probably make one too, but I'm out of ice... that and I've still got the flu. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:24, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Ice is definitely easier to get/make, though... That long? You better be taking care... ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/  Nonsensical Babble  ☯ 08:33, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
