Chocolate Water

My parents, who didn't forbid soda pop but never had it in the house, either, used to call Yoo-hoo "chocolate water." They said if you want chocolate milk, we'll mix up some. They didn't understand the pull of a cold glass bottle in the grocery store. Or maybe they did. Anyway, I don't recall ever drinking a Yoo-hoo, despite the fact that it's rather popular where I am from. 

The main idea behind Yoo-hoo was that it resembled chocolate milk without having to be refrigerated. Sure, stores put it in the refrigerated drink section, but that was right before you bought it. That eliminated the possibility of making it with fresh milk. Yet people loved it- from baseball players to the pope. Weird History Food goes through the history of Yoo-hoo and reveals what's really in that bottle. (via Geeks Are Sexy)
