Ever heard of the phrase got milk? What about got chocolate milk? A lot of people love it. Even if it is a different color, kids will go crazy for it. Even kids at heart like me. But what is the best brand, and where did it come from?
Nestle Quik or NesQuik as it's called now started in the 1940's. With two mascots. One we know today as the NesQuik bunny, but there was another before us. Named: Quickster. It was half dog, half chicken. I'm not sure what it was. Nestle Quik was considered a chocolate drink that would get kids energized for a big game, or was used to promote Nestle Chocolate. What do I think about it? Well...I used the NesQuik powder for chocolate milk. It was ok, but got gritty mostly, and when I stirred it, it didn't really help
I guess this new Chocolate drink brand is new. It's called TruMoo. A chocolate milk brand that had been created, I guess, a couple of years ago. They have commercials that show kids that chocolate milk can be healthy as well as fun. They even have strawberry, orange cream, and mint flavors. I guess this is ok. Never had it before.
Borden Dairy products have their own flavor. Chocolate being one of them. In the 1850's, Mr. Borden (no first name known) created the Borden milk company. It also supplies dairy products. They even use a cow as it's mascot. They used a real cow, named Daisy, a long time ago. The cow was killed in a road accident. I don't think they use actual cows anymore after that. Never tried Borden milk before.
A brand new milk brand that said it is better than any other. Started seven years ago, fairl!fe says that they have a mission (not from god), but to make the world better one milk at a time. They don't use any hormones or animal by products, but they do try to make their milk tasty. They even have other flavors besides chocolate. Never had this brand.
We all know Hershey by heart. There chocolate is known y many people. They make their own chocolate milk mix since the 70's.They went from powder to syrup. Now, they make their own milk flavors. Chocolate being number one. For me, I grew up on this and still use the Hershey's syrup to flavor my milk. Still do today Never tried the chocolate milk singles though.
Horizon organic makes more than just milk, and flavored milk. They make butter and cheese and many more dairy products. This product, just like Fairl!fe, keeps a promise to keep everyone of their product organic. This company started in the early 90's and is still going strong today. I never tried Horizon milk, but it seems their milk is pretty popular to fans that into organic foods.
Yoo-hoo- a sound you would make and a chocolate drink to enjoy. This company started in the 1920's but wasn't really popular till the 1940's when bottling drinks was popular. In the sixties and seventies, they started making commercials. But there is something different with yoo-hoo than any other chocolate milk drink. It was mostly made with water combined with chocolate. They started adding small amounts of milk in their drinks, only it was dry powdered milk. So, is this drink really considered chocolate milk? I don't drink it, so I don't care.
When it comes to chocolate milk, everyone has their own favorite. Whether it be a chocolate bunny, a yoo-hoo or Hershey, we all know which one to love. For me....it's Hershey, and well, some chocolate milks are being changed in flavor to help the lactose intolerant. Almond milk has made a chocolate version of their milk.
Kids love the drink, adults love the drink. It seems chocolate milk is here to stay. We'll always remember our first taste, and it stays with us forever.
