Five hundred sounds like a lot, yet it's such a common, round number that's easily dismissed. It likely sounds more impressive to say "I've had 493 different chocolate milks"-- perhaps because the specificity of 493 lends credence to the claim's authenticity? Or perhaps having to process what the number actually is (6 or 7 syllables* instead of just 3) causes it to feel more 'real' than '500'-- which may heuristically be reduced to just 'a lot.'

Regardless, it feels like a lot, but there's a whole lot more out there to be had.

Since the 1st chocolate milk review (25-Jun-2016) to the 500th (27-Jul-2017), I have averaged 1.3 new chocolate milks per day.

In the 500 chocolate milks reviewed, I would award the following superlatives:

• Best Chocolate Milk: Moriyama Ice Chocolat Au Lait
• Worst Chocolate Milk: Drink Fit Choco Drink
• Most Average Chocolate Milk: Select 7 Chocolate Milk

See you at the next milestone

*Depends on whether or not the 'and' is included: Four hundred AND ninety-three. Shit, maybe 497 would sound even more impressive.
