Chocolate Milk Order of Operations

[Fifty]

OPTION A
1. put in chocolate milk powder
2. put in milk
3. stir

PRO: delicious chocolate sludge at the bottom allows you to finish the glass with a flourish
CON: The rest of the glass (above the bottom) will be less chocolatey for a given quantity of powder used.

OPTION B
1. put in milk
2. put in chocolate milk powder
3. stir

PRO: Uniform chocolatiness throughout
CON: No capstone chocolate sludge


the key issue here is whether you like a constant chocolatiness throughout or if you like some variance.

ASSUME THE AMOUNT OF MILK AND AMOUNT OF CHOCOLATE POWDER IS CONSTANT BETWEEN THE OPTIONS.

I don't know what to say if you're fiddin to go on about how you don't like chocolate milk or you dont like the powder mix or whatever.

 

[Mise]

I eat the chocolate milk powder straight out of the tin so this hypothetical makes no sense to me.

But b. It's clearly more efficient.

 

[ArneHD]

I used to be an Option A man, but I have switched to Option B.

 

[mayor]

I don't particularly like chocolate milk
but
this weekend I used a differen option.

1. put in milk
2. use a piece of (real) chocolate on a stick (my mom melted a chocolate bar and used an icecube mold to create blocks of chocolate with a stick in it)
3. let the chocolate melt in the milk

(4. put in some liquor)

 

[Arwon]

This doesn't really work for Milo.

b.

Finishing with a flourish has never been my strong point.

 

[Joecoolyo]

I usually switch off now and then.

Option B though is a bit nicer than A though.

 

[AL_DA_GREAT]

B obviously, it is much easier to get the powder to mix in.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

By the way, I want a c

OPTION C
1. put in milk
2. stir
3. put in chocolate milk powder gingerly while continuing to stir and thinking happy thoughts.

Don't want the choco to go lumpy.

 

[Chukchi Husky]

I thought A was the only way to do it.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

a. can work when you first pour in a little milk, stir and then top up on milk while stirring.

OP is hopelessly lacking in correct chocolate milk producing procedures.

 

[azzaman333]

I generally go with option A.

 

[Masada]

This doesn't really work for Milo.

It does. Option B just takes a while to do.

 

[SS-18 ICBM]

I don't like that sludge, such a pain to eat and clean off. B it is.

 

[Neonanocyborgasm]

Fifty! You're alive!

 

[_random_]

I typically purchase bottles of pre-mixed chocolate milk. Also, OHMYGODITSFIFTY.

 

[mayor]

allright, I know this isn't chocolate but it's needed for a theory cause, like I said I'm not a big fan of chocolate milk, and don't use either option.

I do however drink Instant soup.. which is basically the same principle, right?

hot liquid
powder
and bam, a (tasty) drink.

anyway when I drink that soup I use option A
However I don't have issues with sludge on the bottom of the cup.

Where am I going with this rambling:
Using Option A, it should be possible to avoid the sludge. This should lead to an equal result for option A and B.

 

[downtown]

Option B, but I also use syrup, instead of powder. Less messy, and as the advantage of also being being useful for ice cream!

 

[bombshoo]

I use chocolate syrup, not powder, but option B is still my procedure.
