Thirteen hundred different chocolate milks over the course of 882 days works out to be about 1.47 per day— just shy of the doctor-recommended rate of 1.50 (Kevorkian et al., 1991). Half of the last 100 chocolate milks reviewed were courtesy of the great state of Pennsylvania, which has been officially crowned as the World Capital of Chocolate Milk. The next hundred won’t come easily: a reassuring sign that it’s all worthwhile.
Who doesn’t love an old-school Top 10 countdown? Here we explore Washington state’s highly underrated chocolate milk scene and determine which is best. As with Highlander, there can be only one.
Who celebrates Thanksgiving by going on a Canadian chocolate milk run? Couldn't imagine spending it any other way.
So what is the best chocolate milk that comes from Colorado? Many great thinkers have pondered this exact question over the years, but it largely has remained a mystery. In this episode, we examine the local chocolate milk scene in detail here and make a solid conclusion regarding Colorado's best. Fortunately, no 'great thinkers' were necessary.
Tenth and final episode of the PA chocolate milk series, which culminated in an appearance on ABC27's Good Day PA! morning show where we discuss (and of course, drink) some of the state's very best chocolate milk!
Returning to PA a couple months after the original week-long binge to appear on ABC27's GoodDay PA show to discuss (and taste) the state's top chocolate milks. That involves revisiting the dairies to pick up milk for the show, and along the way, I'll endeavor to snap up the last few remaining PA-based chocolate milks that I knew about at the time. There's always more, and in my best Arnold impression-- "I'll be baaack."
As the PA chocolate milk whirlwind tour draws to a close, some of the very best are saved for last (by happenstance)-- and would Penn State's Berkey Creamery chocolate milk be the best university chocolate milk I've tried thus far?
From central to southwestern PA, we pick up 5 previously untried chocolate milks, as well as some local snacks (nothing healthy, don't worry) for the continued journey. Also, my first encounter with Whoa Nellie Dairy chocolate milk-- one of the very best you'll ever find!
Ever waited in a Walmart parking lot for chocolate milk to arrive? Ever had chocolate goat milk on the steps of the capitol building? Thankfully, Pennsylvania-- the world's epicenter of chocolate milk-- allows for these (highly recommended) experiences should you choose to pursue them.
Nothing like an old-fashioned taste test among gas station / convenience store brands based in PA-- Turkey Hill, Rutter's, and Wawa. [Note: I've got plenty of love for Sheetz, but they don't have their own branded chocolate milk, they stock Galliker's.] After a quest to gather the low-fat and whole versions of each, I sit down for a side-by-side taste test to determine my preference.
