Chocolate milk is more plentiful in Finland than throughout the Baltics, so once again it's fun to hop store-to-store in search novel types of liquid gold. Here are just a couple of quick highlights from Helsinki and Tampere.

It's been difficult wrangling chocolate milk throughout the Baltics, and Estonia would be no exception. Tallinn is definitely one of my favorite cities in the world, but it is in desperate need of some decent chocolate milk. A sweetened condensed pouch and gimmicky self-heating can don't quite cut it.

Riga is a great city despite an underdeveloped chocolate milk scene. We also stop by one of my favorite restaurants in Europe, Folkklubs Ala Pagrabs.

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?
