The promo people were handing out pots of Choco Latte at London bridge station this morning. I had mine after lunch. Nice and all, but it basically seems to be a way to market chocolate milk to the over-sevens. Not that I'm complaining.

Curiously, when effectiveness tests were done of (very expensive) supposedly scientific 'recovery' drinks for cycle racers, as well as water, chocolate milk was used as a control substance.

Chocloate milk came out on top.

I quite like carbohydrate recovery fluid myself, also known as beer.

Will you be carboloading ahead of the John O'Groats-Land's End run?

Um, I've been doing that for some years now.

Now here's a man who takes preparation seriously! :-)

Why *did* we outgrow chocolate milk?

Ant, over 7 for a few years now

We didn't.

Now I have to go buy some chocolate Qwik (I think that's how they used to spell it) powder. I shan't be satisfied until I do!

Nesquik powder was my favourite - I think it was the cinnamon in it that did it. That and all the sugar.

You can't go wrong with free chocolate :)

That looks gorgeous. I was a BIG fan of chocolate milk as a younger version of myself. I am not sure I would like this one, because a big part of my enjoyment was the feint plasticky taste that the chocolate became imbued with.

There follows a special ‘conching’ process, in which the couverture is gently kneaded for 72 hours to give CHOCO LATTE its delicate chocolate fragrance.

Crumbs. Perhaps the conching process will make up for the fewer leached chemicals?

It tasted like chocolate milk. No matter how much they try to make it sound like something more, it was still chocolate milk. Nice CM, but...
