Whether you're a fan of the traditional reduced fat version, the relatively new whole organic version, or the 'no sugar added' version-- there's something for everyone here. Drink up.
Scouring the state of Georgia for its very best chocolate milk is every bit as delicious an endeavor as it sounds. From Moultrie to Clermont, and all points in between, the Peach State brings the heat when it comes to chocolate milk-- a fact that is well deserving of more mainstream attention. So from the windy corridor that is Atlanta's Jackson Street Bridge, here's GA's Top 5 in classic countdown fashion!
Kwik Trip's proprietary brand 'Nature's Touch' chocolate milk seems to hold a lot of cachet in parts of the upper midwest-- so how does it compare to its peers? We also drop in on a couple other local dairies-- Crystal Ball Farms (Osceola, WI) and Weber's Farm Store (Marshfield, WI)-- and attempt to drink an entire half-gallon bag of chocolate milk at the very end. Wisconsin's official state motto should be changed to "No calories left behind."
A wild ride through the Hoosier State exposes its underground chocolate milk scene that few are aware of, and even fewer live to tell about.

This is the TruMoo episode you've been waiting for.
“It’s the journey, not the destination.” Starting off with a cliché is rather, well, cliché in itself, which perhaps cancels it out. I remember back in late 2016— almost exactly 4 years ago— scanning the street shops and supermarkets of Bilbao for chocolate milk. Occasionally people would ask…
Nothing like a quick 270-mile jaunt downstate to Greenville, Illinois to visit the Rolling Lawns Farm Milkhouse, chat about the operation, and of course pick up their much anticipated chocolate milk. Soon after returning home, I foist a 7-chocolate milk blind taste test on innocent houseguests-- and they do a commendable job in reviewing and ranking each chocolate milk. Which one did they like best/least? Only one way to find out..
Following a successful Kickstarter campaign, Slate is making waves in the industry by offering a better-for-you, higher protein, lower sugar, lactose free, gluten free, soy/nut/carrageenan free, shelf-stable chocolate milk in two flavors: classic and dark.

My first visit to Michigan's Upper Peninsula was overwhelmingly positive (thanks of course to DeBacker Family Dairy) and marred only by some self-imposed audio issues in trying out a new mic setup. If it's true that "what happens in the U.P. stays in the U.P."-- then I egregiously violated that rule by transporting tons of delicious DeBacker's chocolate milk back to afoolzerrand.com HQ in Chicago. And I hope to do it again soon!
