Anyone else rediscovering chocolate milk?

[Fatsuit Shinji]

I like Chocy milk, but strawberry milk is fucking based.
Unrelated, but I had a YooHoo recently and it tastes like fucking shit. Dunno if they changed the recipe or if Covid ruined my tastebuds.

YooHoo tasted like shit since the late 1990ies that I know of.

It's waaaay too sweet. I just make it at home with cacao powder and a smidgen of honey.

I fucking love lime pie but no, the lime milk has none of the sourness you'd normally associate with lime flavours. The end result is something kinda mild that slots in alongside the standard flavours (strawberry, chocolate, banana). It's an oddity I can't directly compare to other flavours though, not even other lime-flavoured stuff.

Is it like Froot Loops? It might be kaffir lime leaves, which impart a lime flavor without the bitterness or acidity—very good for soups or desserts, you let them steep in a preparation like bay leaves.

Haven’t had chocolate milk in ages, but I remember this brand tasting fucking amazing.

I bought this on a lark and its, assuming I remember the brand correctly, is the rolls royce of chocolate milks. I liked chocolate milk before but the stuff I had was liquid chalk in comparison. I recommend whoever can drink milk and spots this to pick it up. If you want an extra treat, keep it in the freezer until it ices over a bit. Also be sure its the whole milk version. And be aware it very well may ruin regular chocolate milk for you.

Amerimutt chocolate milk is waaay too sweet. (Same goes for mini Americans: Canadian).

Try some European chocolate nil and it actually tastes good and not like you’re drinking a Mars bar.

It's funny seeing this thread because for the past week or so I've had intense cravings for two things: Halloumi cheese and chocolate milk, of all things. I think I might be pregnant lol

Halloumi cheese

The only cheese that doubles as a squeaky toy.

Saw OPs profile pic and thought this was about something else.

If you're in Australia or can order from overseas, get yourself some of these.



If you're lucky they'll have the honeycomb flavor out.

I had Fairlife chocolate milk on Thursday, which is the first time in over a decade that I have had chocolate milk. It's good, but I feel like I'd blow up like Jabba the Hutt if I drank it every day.

I drink their chocolate nutrition shake frequently. It only has 2 grams of sugar.

It's about as "refreshing" as drinking maple syrup. I don't understand how anybody over the age of 12 can tolerate something so sickeningly sweet.

You know you can just make it with less sugar if your using cocoa powder and not a syrup or instant packet.

I picked up a carton of chocolate milk from a brand called Cocoa Metro that sells European-style chocolate milk and other cocoa products. I actually kind of like it, it's not overly sweet and it has slightly bitter aftertaste that helps tone down the sweetness even further. The only downside is that it's reduced-fat milk rather than whole milk but I'm not going to complain about it.

Fairlife is a brand I've been iffy on since it released, It's the only brand I'm aware of that touts it being ultra-filtered and IIRC it's distributed by The Coca-Cola Company's Minute Maid division.

Chocolate milk is one of my favorite things. Milk has about 8g of protein per cup, so it's not too unhealthy if you use the low or no fat kind.
Get flavored powders or syrups and customize the sweetness.

Earlier tonight I made Strawberry Nesquik and put ice cubes in it. Best thing I've discovered in a while.

 

[Biggie Smalls' Taint]

I made my own chocolate syrup to control the sugar and get more chocolate taste in stuff, including milk. It was too thick, mixes poorly and doesn't flavor milk as much as I'd like. I tried thinning it by reheating it in a saucepan and adding more water, but it's still tar-like.

I saw a video where a guy added some enzymes brewers use to break down the starch in the syrup so it's more liquid and mixes better, but I don't have those on hand.

Tried googling solutions to the problem but, since search is shit thanks to those fucking street shitters at google, I didn't get any useful results. You look up "chocolate syrup too thick" and "make syrup less thick" and you get articles on how to make it thicker.

Don't get me started on those recipe blogs that have a 1,000 word introduction before teaching you how to dump water, sugar and cocoa powder in a saucepan. Yeah it's that easy. Thanks, Susan, I know more about how your grandmother used to make The Best Chocolate Syrup Recipe 2024 and how you used to eat ice cream sundaes on lazy summer afternoons topped with the Best Chocolate Syrup Recipe 2024 but I still have no idea how my syrup ended up clogging my squeeze bottle, Susan. You got a 4,000 word SEO-optimized article for that, you yeasty cunt?

Long story short, why my syrup no good? I don't want to admit defeat and consoom hershey's syrup, and if I have to keep searching for an answer on modern search engines I will end up commiting a horrible dessert-themed hate crime.

I'm just a nigga that likes choco milk.

Easily the best one. It's like drinking melted ice cream.

To all of you degenerates buying pre-mixed chocolate milk or syrups/powders just make your own syrup. I have made this without the alpha-Amylase powder and it came out fine. This is the recipe I adapted from the video.

200 ml water
300 g sugar
50 g cocoa powder

Combine in a small pot over low heat. Heat stirring until sugar is completely dissolved. Bottle and refrigerate. Makes ~ 1 cup of syrup

There's something deeply disturbing and creepy with adults consuming milk itself, chocolate flavored or not, except for using it in cooking or in their coffee.

Alton Brown's Homemade Chocolate Syrup

• 1 1/2 cups Dutched cocoa powder
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 3 cups sugar
• 1 1/2 cups water
• 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoons finely ground and sifted black cardamom (not worth the hassle imo)

1. Pulse the cocoa powder and salt in the bowl of a food processor several times until smooth.
2. Whisk together the sugar, water, and corn syrup in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat.
3. Turn the food processor on and let it run continuously while carefully pouring the boiling-hot sugar mixture into the feed tube. Follow with the vanilla and cardamom.
4. Let cool for 15 minutes before transferring via funnel into a large squeeze bottle. Then cool completely before refrigerating for up to 3 months. Or divide into two containers, refrigerating one, stashing the other in the freezer where it will keep indefinitely.

I don't think I ever stopped drinking chocolate milk entirely. It's so fucking good.
Pre-packaged chocolate milk almost always tastes funny so I just put chocolate syrup in milk.
