Chocolate Shock Treatment
I first heard about Chantico via this post at "A Small Victory" and Michele's rather, um, graphic description about the experience of drinking one piqued my, um, curiosity.
So it was with mixed emotions that I read the email from Starbucks this afternoon to learn of the sampling of the new "beverage" on Thursday, 4:00-5:00 p.m. I mean, I like to swill Hershey's syrup right out of the squeeze bottle as much as the next guy, but there's just something a little, I don't know, Tuh-ray-zah-ish about a cup of "Chantico™ drinking chocolate." I mean, they can't spare a couple of upper case letters to complete the name?
But, what are you gonna do? It's chocolate, for pete's sake. Its call must be heeded!
Update: Here's the bad news. If you're on Atkins, you shouldn't even be reading this post!
Oh, I'm sure the good baristas will be happy to make you a chocolate cocktail! The result will probably be illegal in 43 states and the District of Columbia, and will be decried throughout the Muslim world as yet more evidence that America is the Great Satan.
I can't wait!
