ICYMI, notorious online troll Milo Yiannopoulos has been permanently banned from Twitter, a day after he incited his followers to harass Ghostbusters star Leslie Jones.
The news of Yiannopoulos's suspension quickly spread over Twitter and his supporters rallied around the hashtag #FreeMilo. It started trending everywhere. Even Down Under.
As an Australian I thought #FreeMilo was for a give away of the chocolatey drink...
And for a second there Aussies got excited.
#FreeMilo is trending and for a second i thought they were giving the drink for free i was liKE LITTTT
Because Milo is a chocolaty, powder-based drink that many consider the national beverage.
Australians devastated to learn #freeMilo is not offering a supply of the chocolatey nutritious drink.

But people also realised what the hashtag was actually about and started to troll it with delicious references to the drink.
#freemilo I will never free milo and I will ban all other powdered drink additives
There were a lot of Milo cans being posted in honour of #FreeMilo.
#FreeMilo Drink it hot or cold!
#freemilo
#FreeMilo I will leave the free cans of Milo drink powder in a box outside my house. First come, first served.

So remember, #FreeMilo might be an online movement fighting for free speech on Twitter.
You wanna know what I think about #FreeMilo? Dunk that shit in some milk, stir it up and send it back to 1982.
But it's also a bloody delicious drink, mate.
