Starbucks – The Real Colonel Sanders?
May 12, 2007
I decided to go out for a Starbucks coffee today and while in line decided to radically change my order to a hot chocolate, completely disregarding the caffeine hit I was there for in the first place.
Anyways, I order, got my hot chocolate, started drinking and holy bejeezus I nearly choked on the heavy think hot chocolate that is allegedly a “famous” beverage at Starbucks (if you read the wall board menu, they say it is famous).
Any of you tried one of those suckers? I am telling you, it is strong, way way strong thick chocolaty strong, in a way that makes me wonder whether they make it on fudge instead of syrup.
Being the ever proud google surfer I am, I came home and immediately googled Starbucks Hot Chocolate to see what the hell they put in this device of the devil. For the record, I found nothing, just every man and his aunty’s recipe for hot chocolate, making the Starbucks Hot Chocolate recipe as elusive as the eleven herbs and spices KFC has taunted us with for years.

And you call yourself a choco addict? My guess is that either in reality you dislike chocolate and you don’t even know it or someone else is showing you who’s boss… or Starbucks Hot Chocolate really sucks. Never tried it, btw.
Oh well you have to go try one before you comment. Truly, it will blow your frickin socks off.
I don’t have so many pair of socks so as to risk losing them. LOL! On the other hand, who wears socks in summer? I’m going to Starbucks tomorrow.
I wonder if that is the same chocolate drink they were selling here in the US for a while. Man, that stuff was thick and it came in a tiny cup. It didn’t sell well here.
I bet it didn’t. You need gumboots and a raincoat just to contemplate drinking the sludge.
