Do you like hot chocolate? Is there chocolate in your brand?

[thegrindre]

I had to post this only because some brands don't even have any chocolate in them.

Example;
Lake Champlain Chocolates' All Natural Traditional Hot Chocolate, is one of them. What does, "All Natural Traditional Hot Chocolate", mean then???

It's a short review of 6 brands. Interesting, though. (I make mine from scratch with real Hershey's Cocoa, btw.)

Dead link...

Have fun,

I can only assume that the FDA allows them to call it chocolate if they made the chocolate flavor from chemicals, which is where most flavors come from these days.

I always wondered what the difference was between hot cocoa and hot chocolate. After reading that I'm still wondering, but at least I know why it's called hot cocoa now!

I'm sorry I missed this thread when it was fresh. I enjoyed the link. I hope to give the Dagoba chocolate a try. I currently drink Land o Lakes brand. I have been satisfied with any of the three favors. The ingredients list cocoa, unsweetened chocolate and cocoa processed with alkali (yum). So, it seems to have chocolate somewhere in it. I am not allowed coffee as it makes some of my meds less effective. My morning cup of hot chocolate is the replacement. The Wife has tried real hard to give up coffee to help me stay the course with my meds. Three days of her cold turkey from the hot coffee is about all it takes. Then me and the Dog are in the kitchen brewing her up a tall dark and hot one to ease her morning transition to human being. It has been long enough. Although still addicted to coffee, I have learned to live without it.........sigh........

I had to give up coffee when I was 21 years old. After spending 4 years in the Navy and drinking it 24/7, I'd come down with occasional shakes. My hands just shook uncontrollably a few times a week. I was told I had caffeine poisoning so, I quit drinking it 40 years ago.

Thankfully I never picked up the coffee habit. My wife did, though.

My drug of choice is diet coke.

Hey, Rat! I dislike malt, can't stand the stuff. Milk shakes are fine but malted shakes? Yuk! Hate beer, too, got too much malt in it and, those malted milk ball gag me...

Rick, that is why you still have lots of hair.

[AZ Rail Rat]

HATE BEER???

Must think seriously about that one.

[Gwizz]

And the reason AZ has no hair on top.

I wish it was beer that was making my hair fall out!!! Something else my meds won't allow me...sigh...

Well, honestly, I'm almost a tea totaler. Never really did like al-key-hall. I might have a glass of sweet wine a couple times a year and the only al-key-hall I like is a Golden Cadillac. It tastes like a black licorice milk shake. Yum...

We have no balding in the family at all. Gray hair is also pretty sparse on the Hargraves side.
I lost my dad last December at 85 and the only gray hair he had was a little around the ears was all.
I work around the public daily and my hair is getting a little lighter but no real gray to speak of.

I got more hair than alls ya'll PUT TOGETHER . . . just ask Hawk, or did I take my hat off when I visited back in 2006?

We may have to change the title of this thread to "Is there hair in your chocolate?"
