I like choco milk (skim or 1%) with ice and Bailey’s in. Or even just ice. What, no one’s adding malt powder? [QUOTE-Nurse Carmen] I’m 39. I love chocolate milk. There. I said it. But you know what is really good too? Strawberry milk! Oooh, and sometimes they even sell banana milk around here! [/QUOTE] I’ll take your banana milk and raise you a coffee milk. > **[Coffee milk](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coffee_syrup)** > > Coffee milk is a drink made by mixing coffee syrup or extract with milk, in a manner similar to chocolate milk. Since 1993, it has been the official state drink of the U.S. state of Rhode Island. While the precise origin of coffee milk is unclear, several sources trace it back to the 19th century Italian immigrant population in Providence, Rhode Island.

[QUOTE=CMiller] Announcing the new sport drink: Chocolate Milk! [/QUOTE] Don’t even joke about that. Before the junior world champs (rowing) the team nutritionist always made us drink banana milkshake after training, he weighed us before and after training sessions and however much weight we had lost we had to drink in banana nesquik. The smell of banana flavoured vomit still lingers around the Eton boathouses to this day. ---

[QUOTE=Anaamika] All these exclamation points prove my case that chocolate milk drinkers are INSANE. 😃 How can you drink that awful stuff? Yuck. [/QUOTE] How can you not? I mean, you got yer chocolate. Who doesn’t like chocolate? Then you got yer milk. Now, you might be iffy on the milk thing. I mean, I like it, but it’s not for everyone. But it sure is healthy. So then you take yer chocolate, and then you take yer milk, and then you put 'em together and you’ve got delicious chocolate _and_ you’ve got healthy milk. Healthy and delicious. It’s hard to get that, y’know. One or the other sure, but both in one is a bonus. I mean, do you like chocolate ice cream? How about hot chocolate? Well, chocolate milk is sort of right in between them. ---

Since I moved to Australia I discovered the joy that is Coco Pops (basically Rice Krispies covered in cocoa powder). It turns the milk that you pour on it into chocolate milk. Outstanding. ---
