June 14 2005 -- A Brave New Drink
|
Hey, hey you Mr Fancy Pants! You know who you are, driving around in your expensive car wearing your expensive clothes. You shop in fancy places like The Short Hills mall (oh, I'm sorry, the mall AT Short Hills, pardon me) and Rodeo Drive and spend more money then most of us make in a year in only a few weeks. But you know you hide a secret. You might act like you look down at people who shop at Starbucks because they don't charge enough for you but you have wanted a Frappuccino for years. You did not want to embarrass yourself by having such a cheap drink around your friends, but secretly you knew you did not want to resist the coffee chocolate whipped cream urge. Well, your time has come. Introducing the Godiva Chocolixir™.
That's right, a high scale chocolatier has jumped on the frozen drink bandwagon and is now selling a drink you can enjoy amongst your rich friends and not feel bad about yourself. Coming in only one size (12 oz) the Chocolixir will set you back $4.50 (which is more then the largest Frappuccino at Starbucks) and contains the same high end Godiva chocolate that you have come to know and love. Heck, you wont even need to go to a common man store to buy it, nope, you can only buy at in select Godiva Boutiques, even the word sounds fancy.
Three flavors. Dark Chocolate Decadence – Godiva 72% Extra Dark Chocolate pieces are blended with rich dark chocolate flavors. Milk Chocolate Latte – Creamy Godiva Milk Chocolate pieces are blended with coffee and caramel flavors. White Chocolate Raspberry – Smooth Godiva White Chocolate pieces are blended with light vanilla flavors and topped with rich red raspberry. For our test my boyfriend Jason and I tried the dark and milk chocolate versions and compared them to a Frap from Starbucks because that is the closest thing out there too it that most of you have had. The Godiva version had a very smooth flavor. Unlike the Frap the Godiva drink did not have icy chunks in it. Maybe Godiva has better blenders. Another thing is that the flavor is much stronger in the Chocolixir. Using real chocolate chunks you can feel it all as you drink it. Ever have a protein shake and feel the gritty powder as you drink it? Same sort of thing here. Personally I like that stuff in the shakes because it gives it body but I know some people don't so I guess you'll have to try it. Jason thought it was a bit too sweet, but was it too sweet or just to rich in chocolate for his common man tastes? I did enjoy this drink but it was just too high priced for me and noticed the overly sweet tastes as well, but that is most likely to keep common people like me away from it. Just imagine if everyone was walking around drinking these things like they do with Starbucks. All the richie folks would have to move on to something else, they can't be drinking the same stuff as us!
3 cheeses. It's good but costs too much. I'll be sticking with the cheaper Starbucks Fraps because that is where I belong. I'll never be an Alpha, I just sit here in Beta land.
