The Wonderful World of Wendy


Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming - WOW - what a ride!!

The world IS a better place - there IS a chocolate bar on every corner! (almost)

Okay, I had occasion to have an evening meeting last night, happened to be at a conveniently located Starbucks (the new drive thru one on 1st Ave South). When I walked in I suddenly remember Steve saying he thought Starbucks was serving drinking chocolate like what I had in Italy.

THEY DO!

Hussle yourself down to your nearest Starbucks and order yourself a cup! It comes in a cute little chocolate-colored paper Starbucks cup with a black lid. It's warm and soothing, and you will feel love all over as you sip it down.

Chantico™ Drinking Chocolate - A drinkable dessert with an intense, full-bodied chocolate flavor and silky, rich texture.

PROMISE ME YOU WON'T READ THE NUTRITION INFORMATION!!

I hope they get extra dark soon!

    Wendy, I'm sorry to tell you...but they're discontinuing Chantico, the drinking chocolate you had. But there will be some very interesting replacements coming soon. :)

    I have a backup!!! We saw this in the lobby of the building we went to, where the Downtown Architectual Foundation is, when we took the skyscraper tour in October. It's the first time I heard of a "chocolate bar" and still thought it was strange, to go sit somewhere and drink a cup of chocolate. I am so glad to have been enlightened! Now I must go to this cafe!
