Stephen Scott milk?? Part of me HIGHLY suspects someone is playing around. And part of me wonders if I'm just totally ignorant of other cultures.

Albatross milk?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.57.253.109 (talk) 00:01, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Blood

The last part about blood in chocolate milk smells vaguely of urban myth, anyone can cite the sources on that?

Sure: http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=120

CM

I have never heard of chocolate milk being called "CM". Maybe this is regional slang, but even so, it should be cited and explained further. Thank you, MontySpurling 00:28, 24 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

ROFL, I just saw this page and was about to post this same thing but you already said it. I've never heard it called "CM". Maybe it's a British thing. 68.2.143.22 03:29, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Calcium Myth?

There has to be a citation on the calcium myth section, as I recall chocolate mlk is still a good source of calcium. TostitosAreGross 21:38, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It is still a good source of calcium. I've added in a new part telling why.

Temperature

"This mixture should be stored at 0.5 to 4 °C (33 to 39 °F)." where are these numbers from? and isn't 0.5°C a little too cold?

If I recall correctly from my grocery days, most dairy cases (particularly orange juice) recommended 33-35°F, and never more than 38°F. Most of the milk came in crates, so they didn't have the temperature recommendations. 68.228.155.76 01:53, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Chocolate Milk God?

Watch out for this kid, who apparently thinks it's funny to vandalize Wikipedia instead of restricting his "research" to his own Xanga site. IrisWings 07:10, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merge

It seems kind of unnecessary for chocolate milk to have an article of its own. --Mentaka 14:43, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Object It seems reasonable to me. There is too much information for a subsection in the milk article. Rintrah 15:38, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hot chocolate?

Hot chocolate isn't just chocolate milk that's been heated up. It's a totally different beverage. Or am I wrong about this? Simulato 06:16, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You could put a disputed or POV tag on the article—that would make me laugh pretty hard. Seriously, though, if you can find evidence for this, you're welcome to mend the article accordingly. Rintrah 07:08, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia's hot chocolate article itself seems to back me up on this, so I've changed the wording. If anyone disagrees I suppose the article will have to be tagged... chocolate milk is a very polarising topic, after all. *laughs* Simulato 09:29, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Other ways to drink chocolate milk"

Some companies have created a straw in which stirring is not necessary. You simply place the straw into plain milk, and when you drink it, it will taste like chocolate. Unfortunately, in 2003, this method was recalled because the flavoring pellets were toxic. However, the original prototype was improved and the pellets are now relatively safe. You must proceed with caution however, because the true effects of the pellets are not completely validated. In a recent study of 475 Californians, 52% had some type of negative feedback associated with the pellets, most noticeable stomach pain.

This needs sources and I'm not totally sure it's relevant in the article. Also needs some rewriting to make it suitably encyclopaediac. Simulato 19:43, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Recorvery after a workout?

This section reads just like an infomercial.

Removed marketing section

The marketing section was not appropriate content or tone for an encyclopaedia. As has been mentioned, it read like an infomercial. Simulato (talk) 10:35, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Caffeine content in chocolate milk

Does anyone know how much caffeine is in chocolate milk? I want to see how it compares to other drinks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.13.238.132 (talk) 08:18, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Culture or the United States?

Why bother to have a culture section if your just gonna talk about American canteens. There ARE over 250 other countries on earth ya know...! Talk about them as well or remove this section. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.188.149.134 (talk) 12:22, 14 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This article I think refers to a product that in other countries may be known by another name. E.g. in the UK we would call it chocolate milkshake (Milkshakes here are made with milk and flavourings - not icecream).
