South Dakota is known for lots of things, including Stensland Family Farms Creamery, Wall Drug, and Adam Vinatieri. Oh yeah, and there's Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Deadwood, the Corn Palace, Sturgis, and the Badlands National Park to name a few more. We go from one side of the state to the other in search of increasingly elusive chocolate milk, discovering a few universal truths along the way, such as why cut cantaloupe and road trips don't go well together.
Let’s face it— ‘eleven hundred’ is not nearly as sexy sounding as an even 1,000, despite being 10% larger, and theoretically more impressive from a counting-stats perspective. Once you cross the 4-figure threshold though, the next legitimate ‘milestone’ seems to be 1,500— it just works that way. I can assure you that 1,500 will be achieved but not without significant amounts of time, effort, and gluttony.
From Missoula, Montana to Devils Tower, Wyoming, we left very few stones unturned in the continual quest for chocolate milk. What little was found turned out to be uniquely memorable and satisfyingly congruent with its surroundings.
Nearly 1,000 miles separate San Jose from Spokane, and we picked up some phenomenal local chocolate milks along the way representing California, Oregon, and Washington. Sometimes the gathering is as much fun as the tasting, though perhaps not in this case.
Our final night in Hong Kong, reviewing 5 different cartoned chocolate milks as concisely as possible. And no chocolate milk review would be complete without a look at some public toilets and a few adorable cats from Hong Kong's cat cafe scene.
In searching for chocolate milk throughout Hong Kong, I came across a new boxed version of an old favorite, as well as one that had been rotten in the past (literally). From the Dragon's Back Trail to the Kowloon Public Pier to Victoria Harbour, one thing is for sure: all chocolate milks deserve a second chance!
Local chocolate milk. Gorgeous cats. Beautiful sunsets. Foodborne illness. A week in Manila.
Singapore's chocolate milk scene is every bit as international as you'd expect-- but which product stands above the rest? Also, witness the awesome power of the world's first chocolate milk tornado fountain!
Odd that the first time I see actual Starbucks chocolate milk would be in a Malaysian 7-Eleven. How would it taste first thing in the morning? Oh and it rains there, too.
Whether you love yourself, hate yourself, or just enjoy torturing yourself-- there's a chocolate milk for everyone in KL, Malaysia. From the daytime shadow of the Petronas Towers to the early evening rooftop vantage-- we discuss chocolate milk and little else.
