Still waitin' for 2 things...

to flood us consumers: chocolate mint flavored M&M's and chocolate cola. Spell it Choklit if you want, you Marketing Slime, but get it out there. It's gold I tell you!!
Going into a Panera is like stepping foot into a businessperson's convention. Sheesh. The food might not be tasty enough to offset this. And the "reduced sugar Asian sesame vinaigrette" tastes remarkably like "reduced sugar via added artificial sweetener Asian sesame vinaigrette" but I guess that name's too long.
Lookit me, I'm freakin' prolific these days! Easy when one writes pure nonsense.

Well, aren't you the taste combiner today! Can't help you with the mint M&M's or the chocolate cola, but could I offer you a chocolate beer? The Miller Brewing Company has one set to hit the market, and I think Sam Adams has one, too. I can personally recommend the genius combination of coffee and maple syrup being offered at Starbuck's right now. Heavenly.

Hope that helps in your quest to mix flavors.

Chocolate beer. Yuck. If you added chocolate flavor to beer flavor it would be like drinking the smell in the bars bathrooms..

Mint M&Ms sound delightful, but not chocolate cola. I remember putting chocolate syrup in my coke when I was young because everything tastes better with chocolate, right? Nope. The fizz at the top of the coke would stay there from the chocolate and it was nasty ... I drank it anyhow, because it's chocolate! and coke! but never again.

mmm ... peppermint hot chocolate at starbucks is damn tasty too ... :)

Someone beat you to the chocolate cola. I used to get it as a kid and drink it through chocolate licorice straws. Weird, I don't even love chocolate.

i'm surprised mint M&Ms have done the mint thing yet. really? they've hit so many other avenues.

i thought there was a choco-cola of some kind out there, which just the idea of I find repulsive.

there is a panera near where i work, so i go sometimes. the food, i think, is tasty but pricy. every time, though, i sit next to at least one table full of people talking about data, bottom lines, deadlines, meetings, and the rest of that. it kind of grosses me out.

Barnes & Noble Mapple Macchiato is actually a little better. Mmm.. like coffee and breakfast all in one.

Have you seen the new Hershey's truffle kisses? I'm not a huge Hershey's chocolate fan, but they're pretty good. And the little truffle bars are even better (if you like milk chocolate).

I know the stuff's out there; candycoated choc. afterdinner mints at some restaurants and $2 a sm. bottle specialty brand chocolate sodas. I just want it out there for cheap! It's not always convenient to carry around ingredients to mix the stuff myself, otherwise I'd never buy another bottle of Coke Blak again. Seriously, it's not tough mixing cola & coffee. Just keep the ratio like 5:1 or so.
Not as big a milk chocolate fan as dark, but I'll try out those truffle kisses one o' these days.

You know what I want? A chocolate sandwich with chocolate sandwich meat and chocolate cheese. And chocolate potato chips. With chocolate soda.

Speaking of weird combos, whose bright idea was it to combine Coca-Cola and coffee?

Nigel G Mitchell said...

Dear Sir,

I think that's a great idea for a soda.
