Just have to share a commercial in which the Kilgore Rangerette’s, world famous for their high kicking routines, come out for chocolate milk. I found it due to inspiration from the recently revived ask a a Rangerette thread. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/-HYHHMBPIf0/maxresdefault.jpg "The Kilgore Rangerette's Believe in Chocolate Milk") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HYHHMBPIf0) The things I liked in it were: About 50 seconds in, “I thought chocolate milk was something I could only drink in the morning, you know, after breakfast with my cereal. I’ve really learned that after every time I’ve kicked – or even running outside – to grab a chocolate milk, and after thirty minutes I feel twenty times better, I’m back up to energy…” It’s hard to stomach all the way through but perseverance rewards you with things like, at 4:22, “We don’t come back from practice and grab a soda or any sports drink… um… we have realized that chocolate milk has been the best recovery drink after practice.” Plus, in terms of costume, they have some very interesting leather accessories – something that is like a leather greave but for their forearms and a kind of mini leather corset they wear above their short skirts. Their traditional dress derived from 1940s Texas dance/drill teams has an almost natural concinnity with bondage fashions, which I guess makes sense. ---

One thing that I found interesting was the listing of requirements. I’m guessing that having good-looking legs is a requirement, although it wasn’t said anywhere. ---

Yeah, from the looks of it there are lots of unlisted requirements that result in a pretty cookie cutter look. Or maybe we would all look like that if we could just drink enough chocolate milk. ---

I would guess that the ratio of hot chicks to the rest of the student body must be pretty astounding at that school. ---

I’m thinking they just get a bunch of fatties in there and then once they put them on the chocolate milk regimen they all slim down. Watch the video again – it’s the chocolate milk that allows them to reach their full exercise potential. ---

This has been well known for quite some time. It is routine for soccer teams to have a cooler of chocolate milk waiting for them after a game. I remember this being the case for at least eight years or more now. ---

Please regular people who drink chocolate milk are drinking a lot of sugar. Maybe sports groups play games with milk that is chocolate but not sugar but my god if you buy your kids a regular chocolate milk in the grocery store it is very sugary. ---

I remember this being the case for at least eight years or more now. Yes and that is why soccer players’ have legs that look as nice as the Rangerettes do. It’s the chocolate milk! In addition, that is why Lazio had so much trouble against Roma – their Fascist political views prevent them from supporting the chocolate milk cooperative because it is not a national corporation.
