A Melted, Chocolate Truffle? I’m Doomed!

Yeah, I may have lost a lot of weight the last two months, but that’s because Starbucks wasn’t offering this:

SEATTLE–Jan. 5, 2005–Beginning January 8, 2005, Starbucks Coffee Company will offer Chantico drinking chocolate in Starbucks stores throughout the United States and Canada. Best described as a “drinkable dessert,” Chantico drinking chocolate has an intense, full-bodied chocolate flavor and a rich, silky texture, which provides an indulgent chocolate experience that builds on the tradition of European drinking chocolate.

“Chantico drinking chocolate is a decadent, premium chocolate beverage that is dramatically different from hot chocolate,” said Michelle Gass, senior vice president of Category Management for Starbucks. “Imagine drinking a melted truffle and you’re close to the Chantico drinking chocolate experience. Our expertise is in handcrafting premium beverages from the finest ingredients. With Chantico drinking chocolate, we’re introducing our customers to the pleasures of drinking chocolate — transforming the way consumers think about chocolate, just as we transformed the way consumers experience coffee.”

“Imagine drinking a melted truffle.” I’m doomed. Doomed, I tell you. I am such a chocoholic.I gain 2 lbs everytime I look at this picture

Update: More chocolate ecstacy noted at Sekimori and A Small Victory.

    Well I am so glad there are no Starbucks on my daily commute to work, because then I’d really be in a pickle!

    Gosh, I might have to give up my hatred of Starbucks. Come to think of it, I have a gift certificate I need to redeem…

    Hey, try cigarettes to take your mind off of your chocolate addition.

    Doh! I have a gift certificate, too!

    Well, technically it’s not mine. But it’s in my car. :P

    Possession is 9/10ths of the law. Or something like that. The law is 9/10ths posession? I’m possessed 9/10ths of the time?

    Jo, do you blog when you’re possessed, or do you blog when you’re not possessed? I just want to make sure I can tell the difference. :)

    Michael, You didn’t tell me they had CHOCOLATE – that gift certificate would never have left my possession if I had known that! And forget that possession rule – I have my ways, I’m pretty sure I can get that card back.

    Dang it. I’m going to have to accelerate my trip to Starbucks before it’s too late. :P

    Oral Sex
    Get your mind out of the gutter – this was simply an orgasm in a 6 ounce cup of chocolate. You’ve seen it here and here, now I get to…
