Eight hundred different chocolate milks gathered, sampled, and reviewed in just under 500 days, and 100 (#701-800) in just a 30 day span (an average of 3.33 new chocolate milks per day). Here's to hoping the pace slows down a bit so I can begin to work solid food back into the rotation.

Pat Robertson has nothing on this 700 club: it took only 26 days to gather, sample, and review chocolate milks 601-700, an average of 3.8 new chocolate milks per day. Probably not a sustainable pace for a longer term, and from a health perspective-- something that will take considerable amounts of cardio, salad, and toothpaste to redress.

Only 9 Major League Baseball players have reached 600 home runs; it's an elite mark that requires longevity and consistent high performance. Not sure the same can be said for someone who has gathered, sampled, and reviewed 600 chocolate milks worldwide, but there is a degree of perseverance and personal health indifference that can't be denied.

Five hundred sounds like a lot, yet it's such a common, round number that's easily dismissed.
