Chew on this.
Something to think about for how Ford got this way.
If you look at the instructions on a box of Quik powered chocolate, they
tell you the box will make 48 servings. A serving is 8 ounces.
You are to use 2 to 3 tablespoons of chocolate per serving. I believe that's
what they say to do. I'm working from memory here.
I say if you do it that way you don't really get to enjoy the product.
1 box will last me two weeks. 1-2 glasses a day yields 7-14 servings. Not
48. The glass I use is a 24 ounce glass, not an 8 ounce.
The key however, is in the mixture.
The order is very important.
You pour the milk first, then put in chcolate quickly, until there is about
half an inch of powder, just sitting on top of the milk waiting to sink.
Point 1: It's fun to watch.
Let it all sing down, and you will be left with a glass of mostly milk,
and about 3/4th of an inch of what looks like mud sitting at the bottom
of your glass. This mud is very important.
Point 2: Most novices get grossed out at the sign of this.
Stir slowly making sure not to actually stir the mud with your spoon, the
spinning motion from the spoon will be enough to cause some of the mud
to mix with the milk.
Do this until the chocolate milk is the darkness you like (you determine
this over years of trial-and-error). Be sure to have plently of mud left.
If not, add more chocolate and let it sink to the bottom.
Point 3: Most novices leave the room at this point when they realize
you intend on drinking this.
Drink chocolate milk.
When you get to the bottom, (Point 4: some novices are brave enough
to peek in the room, while you think they've gone, and now most assuredly
leave the area.) take a mouthful of mud and let it slide down your
throat.
If you haven't figured this out yet, the mud is pure liquid sugar. I love
my Quik Chocolate Milk, I don't know what I'd do without it.
