This could confuse the people and affect the sales of San Miguel.

* TV ADVERTISEMENT: Chocquik
Nestle Philippines sued Columbia for their commercial of Chocquik. The commercial on Chocquik was immediately blocked by Nestle Philippines from airing because they say that the product is the same as Nestle’s products Milo and Nesquik. According to Nestle, Chocquik’s packaging is of the same color with that of Milo’s trademark colors: green, white and gold. And they were also complaining on the name of the product with the ‘quik’ on it which is the same with Nesquik. But Columbia won the case against Nestle that’s why they continued airing the commercial. They won because the two products are not entirely the same.
