Milestone: 1,500 Chocolate Milks Reviewed!!

“It’s the journey, not the destination.” Starting off with a cliché is rather, well, cliché in itself, which perhaps cancels it out. I remember back in late 2016— almost exactly 4 years ago— scanning the street shops and supermarkets of Bilbao for chocolate milk. Occasionally people would ask…

Milestone: 1,300 Chocolate Milks Reviewed!!

Thirteen hundred different chocolate milks over the course of 882 days works out to be about 1.47 per day— just shy of the doctor-recommended rate of 1.50 (Kevorkian et al., 1991).

The next hundred won’t come easily: a reassuring sign that it’s all worthwhile.

Milestone: 1,100th Chocolate Milk Reviewed!!

Let’s face it— ‘eleven hundred’ is not nearly as sexy sounding as an even 1,000, despite being 10% larger, and theoretically more impressive from a counting-stats perspective.

Milestone: 900th Chocolate Milk Reviewed!!

Nine hundred different chocolate milks gathered, sampled, and reviewed in the last 564 days, and 100 (#801-900) in the last 65 days (an average of 1.54 new chocolate milks per day)-- a relatively pedestrian pace compared to the previous few hundred. As a result, I'm better rested, slightly more svelte, and hungrier for a more aggressive pursuit of chocolate milk in the coming swath across the South and into the West!
