They really do exist…

Milka is a brand of milk chocolate manufactured by Kraft Foods. It is sold in bar form, in holiday shapes, and in a variety of specialty forms. It was created in 1901 in Austria, by Swiss chocolatier Philippe Suchard as his first milk chocolate variety. Suchard was an independent company for many years. Kraft acquired the majority of Jacobs Suchard, including Milka, in 1990. The brand has a well-known symbol, the Milka Cow, which is a lilac colored Montbéliard cow (original colour brown-white, completely white face) also Purple cow sporting a bell around her neck, usually shown in an Alpine meadow. The name is believed to be derived from combining Milch und Kakao (the German terms for milk and cocoa. Anyway it’s more than 35 years and 110 TV adverts since that first one and it seems the lilac cows are now more popular than ever.
