The Legality of Hot Cocoa In May
A Humorous take
Gary L Ellis: Is it illegal to drink hot cocoa in May?
What a funny question. Is it illegal to drink ice water in January? If so, I will be in prison for life. I have been drinking ice water during the winter months since I was a kid.
I don’t see why either drink would be illegal, unless our current president or his Fox friends are the ones handing out the jail terms.
Let’s discuss hot cocoa in more detail.
I can’t remember if I have had hot cocoa in May. I am not a Swiss Miss, but that is my favorite hot cocoa. It is in my pantry as I write this.
I am researching brands and I haven’t heard of any of them except Swiss Miss.
One is called Vermont Nut Free. I don’t know about you, but why on earth would there be nuts in hot chocolate? It probably is a precaution for those with allergies. I never saw an offer of nut free coffee! I don’t know what grounds they have to have nuts in hot cocoa. A nut drinking hot cocoa is another story. That applies to me.
Oh! I didn’t realize Ghirardelli made double chocolate hot cocoa mix. It sounds absolutely delish. I love their truffles. I wonder how expensive it is.
