message: I read this article to find out just what Horlicks is, and it wasn't clear. I did a little digging in the company website's history page [] to find out, as well as listening to the audio clip of the ad in the article, so I added the following to the lead:
*It was first sold as "Horlick's Infant and Invalids Food," soon adding "aged and travelers" to their label. In the early 20th century it was sold as a powdered meal replacement drink mix. It is now marketed as a nutritional supplement..."
I'm American, and I get the impression Horlicks is more culturally important in the UK and elsewhere, and I wonder if there might have been an assumption that readers knew basically what it was? I don't know. Not a criticism. We Americans apply enough of our own bias to articles here. Dcs002 (talk) 00:25, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
