Default Syrup or Powder?
For chocolate milk, does VBOT prefer syrup (Hershey) or powder (Nesquik)?

Helpful Tip: Say you live in a house that buys non-fat milk (like mine), and you're hankering a nice creamy chocolate or strawberry milk. With non-fat milk, you have to add more syrup just to get a decent flavor, but it'll never be creamy. Keep some vanilla creamer handy! Add a little creamer and voila! . . . creamy beverage, and less syrup needed.

I like them both but sometimes with powder that extra sugary textured chocolate treat at the end is nice.

YMMV.

I used to use powdered milk for the same effect... it's cheap and you can take 0 Fat milk look and taste halfway normal with.

Growing up we had to have the Nesquik due to the Pink Bunny on the label.

Instead of calling it strawberry milk, I called it Pink Bunny Milk!


I like both syrup and mix, but have a tendency to prefer the bunny mix!

I used to keep the extra large (like 12" high!) container of the pink bunny mix in stock, in my kitchen! I just sort of transitioned to the syrup I guess. Store brand blows, I can attest to that! Maybe it's time to bring back pink bunny . . .

Syrup is better than powder if you have it but it's chocolate so it's all good.

Otherwise I vote syrup. I never could get powders to mix in properly. Who wants chalky milk?

Except for strawberry. I never had any problems stirring it in.
