This is sure to be lost in the boundless annals of Lithuanian chocolate milk literature, but I'm confident that I've experienced what Vilnius has to offer from a chocolate milk standpoint; here is my tale.

Got around to a great deal of the city, but only came home with 3 chocolate milks that I hadn't seen previously. Would the relatively high standard of Polish chocolate milk continue?

It happens to be National Chocolate Milk Day, and I find myself going store-to-store in Warsaw, Poland, in search of new (to me) chocolate milk. For me, it's just like any other day-- only the locations change.

Another flight of 5 chocolate milks picked up in Krakow, Poland. We've got all the bases covered here-- thick, caffeinated, light, dark, sporty, chalky, salty, gimmicky, etc.

Initial scans of Polish shelves yielded less chocolate milk variety than I had hoped, but would quality ameliorate the apparent lack of quantity?

...that I haven't tried. Final day in Budapest is a double-session of chocolate milk tasting, the second of which follows actual solid food intake (unsalted peanuts). Hungary served me well-- next up: Poland.

A trip to French hypermarket Auchan outside of Budapest yielded a bunch of new (to me) chocolate milk. Need to drink it ASAP as there's precious little vacancy in the mini fridge.

The first of a few videos reviewing Hungarian chocolate milk. Also, a 'pro' tip on opening any bagged liquid.

Pounding sub-par, protein-fortified chocolate milk before bed (and on a somewhat full stomach) feels like work, albeit necessary in order to get to the good stuff the next morning.
