I think I need Chantico now.
I woke up very pissed off, but having, after venting to a friend, my sister-in-law and a co-worker, realized the cause of my frustration. . . I feel much better.
But I need chocolate.
And what's the fun in becoming an immortal demon if you're not regular, am I right?

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Unlike hot chocolate, which is made from cocoa powder, Chantico is steamed with cocoa butter and whole milk. It's no diet drink: A 6-ounce cup has 390 calories, 21 grams of fat and 51 carbs.
Steph, it's more like European drinking chocolate than Swiss Miss. It is of teh YUM.
So, hot chocolate.
Sorry, but "hot chocolate" is my shorthand for the hot liquid chocolate beverage that is referred to as cocoa/drinking chocolate/hot chocolate. I know that offends purists, but, eh. (Plus, "drinking chocolate" is just a weird term.)
I also refer to margarine as butter. (Which is an even bigger misnomer than the hot chocolate thing.) Not on purpose; I just do. I think the "any hot liquid chocolate beverage" = "hot chocolate" and the "margarine" = "butter" are holdovers from my childhood, b/c my whole family does the same thing.

There are six Dunkin Dounts within twenty minutes of my house.
But, let me guess: you can't get there from here.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Ho. Lee. Shit.

No, actually, I pass three of them on the way to work!

I've been to that contest! Not this year (hell, not even in a year that starts with "2"....it's been a while), but I've been there. The sculptures are amazing in person. They look like marble, especially at night.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
"drinking chocolate" is just a weird term
I think "drinking chocolate" is a great term, but I guess it would be messing with the purists to apply it to Swiss Miss.
The term just makes me happy. Chocolate! Being drunk! Much more involving than chocolate that's just being hot.
And then there's "cocoa." Mmm. "Cocoa." You have to say it in a bit of a British accent -- doesn't much matter which one. "Cocoa."

Woah. That's beautiful. I love the third-place one, too.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Damn. I really wanted to make a New Englander joke.
Sorry, Steph, but you can't swing a cat without hitting a DD in New England.
