Well it's time for yet another review of a new product. Today it's from everyone's favorite new world order corporation, Starbucks.
Isn't that a nice promotional poster thing? Makes it look good, doesn’t it? It even has a fancy name, Chantico. Feels nice saying that, Chantico. Sophisticated and rich.
But anyway, lets actually do some tasting.
It comes in it's own special cup. It's own special 6oz tiny cup.
Giving it a sip you get an overwhelming taste of chocolate. Steinbo said it best when he took a taste "It tastes like molten chocolate." Ever have a glass of chocolate milk and get down to the bottom where all the stuff has settled? Well, imagine drinking a whole cup full of that and you have what the Chantico is. Their tag line for this thing is pretty accurate "Drinking Chocolate" because it is pretty much what you are doing when you are drinking it. Very think and very heavy the Chantico is a hard one to get through if you are not into chocolate.
I decided it needed something more, something to weaken the flavor a little bit...
Oh boy did that do the trick! Walking back in and having the people put on a nice dollop of whipped cream made this drink so much better. The whipped cream was able to counteract the intense chocolate flavor of the drink and make it become a much better beverage. Whipped cream should be standard on this thing and I recommend all of you get it on yours when you get one of these drinks.
Rating?
Plain it gets 2.5 out of 5. It wasn't bad but it was just too much.
Putting the whipped cream on we get a much more enjoyable drink. 3.5 out of 5. If you are going to try this make sure you get it with the whipped cream. Free of charge.
