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