Whenever one eats chocolate, one needs milk to wash it down. It's practically a fact of life.

But, by combining the milk and the chocolate, you defeat the purpose! You're practically commiting sacriliage! Not to mention you typically tend to make yourself want more milk, which makes you drink more chocolate milk, and so on and so forth. It's a vicious cycle from which there is no escape.

*shnipp*

Say wha?

Uh...when I eat things that may contain chocolate, like doughnuts, cookies, cake and the like, I NEED a glass of milk to complete the full eperience.

However, "whenever one eats chocolate" is far too broad. When I have some lovely dark chocolate (say, 75% or more cocoa solids), milk is the LAST thing I need. Fine chocolate has many flavors and phases to pass through while it melts on my tongue, and drinking milk after eating any would sabotage that process and be disgusting to me. I mean, even after a choclate bar like a Twix or sometihng, do you need to drink milk? Not me.

I don't need anything to wash chocolate down with.

Also I think powderd milk defeats the purpose of milk as a beverage.

Exactly. Both times.

It's a vicious cycle from which there is no escape.:confused: I don't drink milk with chocolate. What's the point in that? I'm not going to eat something I like and then wash it down to not enjoy the aftertaste.

Way to ignore over half of the planet.
There's lactose intolerant folks, like myself. Unless, you wish to induce vomitting after I eat chocolate.

Apparently you've never discovered the wonders of Ovaltine :)

Hell, yes. 70-80% cocoa = an accompanying cup of coffee. 80+% = an accompanying cup of tea.

Milk goes better with peanut butter. Yes it does. Though it will be an outrage if anyone ever makes a product combining the two.

Oh, I know. My sister is lactose intolorant. She just swallows a lactose pill before eating anything wif lactose in it.

...

And it seems that perhaps I was mistaken when it came to milk being a chocolate washer-downer. Must be another one of those American things other peeps don't actually do.

I actually tend to drink less chocolate milk than I would white, the reason being it is makes me think I am full. I cam drink white milk by the gallon but chacolate makes me full after one glass.

I just saw a report that said the best sports recovery drink was chocolate milk made with skim milk.

I once drank two litres of the stuff in half an hour. I guess it doesn't have the same effect on me as it does on you.

I demand sources!

oh and milk is pretty much my version of water so I tend to avoid the illness causing chocolate and go for a lightly flavoured strawberry aka cheap ass strawberry milk (more watery goodness I say)

I know, it's a big scam, the only reason they invented it was exactly because of that.

Milk washing down chocolate is like the childrens' version of red meat with red wine. You take a bite, and then the next bite tastes, almost imperceptibly, less good than the last. By the time you've taken a few bites it becomes noticable, and if you eat a whole bar, or a whole serving of prime rib, it just doesn't taste the same. Once you have a few bites you need to take a sip. Then the food goes back to tasting pretty much like the first bite.

Chocolate milk is like the childrens' version of ruby port. It's sweet on its own, and doesn't need the traditional food pairing of its dryer relative.

As far as I know, the only actual "purpose" of milk (and here I am assuming COW milk) is to nourish calves until they can digest grass. But me mixing in some powdered cocoa and sugar before downing a glass really has almost nothing to do with the health and welfare of baby cows.

So I guess until you can show me that my glass of 2% and Nestle's is somehow depriving some bovine of his lunch, I think that chocolate milk does not defeat the purpose of milk.

I don't like plain milk anyway.
