Binggrae created the banana beverage after the Korean government wanted people to drink more milk to address malnutrition. With people uninspired by the taste of plain milk, the company came up with a banana milk drink to win them over.

If you aren't into banana but are still looking to jazz up your milk, don't worry they do others flavors, too.
