Choc-Cola

Choc-Cola, Chocola.....however its spelled......

Anyone have an image of this soft drink? Memories? It it still available?

Had to shake the can to mix the chocolate.

I drank it as a kid in Michigan, we used to fight over the last can.

Not much on the google!!!

i've never heard of it b4 today...lol, sorry.

That sounds nasty

I’ve heard of cherry coke, vanilla coke, coke with lime, clear coke, new coke, coke zero but I’ve never heard of any chocolate flavored cola.

Dude......Yoohoo....it's not Chocola or whatever...but WHY do I drink Yoohoo so fast? It is borderline disgusting, you pay $3 for it and it is gone in two sips. How? Doesn't happen with soda or juice or anything else...just Yoohoo. It's like crack.

Its not yoohoo, I know what Yoohoo is...lol

Choc-cola was the name. Maybe it was regional, midwest. Drank it in the 70s and 80s.


Kids fought over it.


edit, Just got this....Yoohoo and Chocola are the same:

i believe they sell chocolate coke at dennys down here in arizona. Its like the cherry coke where they add a shot of cherry flavor, but instead its chocolate. its pretty good tasting not overly chocolatey. They also sell this at a local 50's themed diner called Penny's Diner.


but I've never tasted yoohoo.

this stuff was nasty with a

CAPITAL "N"

I remember Chocola! I've tried to search for it too. I believe it was made by Borden's because I remember a picture of Elsie the Cow on the can. I had it as a kid in the late 70's/early 80's in Indiana. I remember my mom packed a can of it in my lunch sack when our class took a field trip to the zoo and all the kids were jealous.

Yep, it was an Indianapolis product. Choc-ola. Had nothing to do with cola, it was a chocolate milk-like drink. Any Indy people out there remember "Cowboy Bob's Lunchtime Theater"? He was host of a cartoon show and the big sponsor was Choc-ola. (Personally, I was more of a "Sammy Terry" guy. You had ta be here.)

Anyway, here's an image-

It's no longer in production.

This was my FAVORITE soft drink when I was growing up in Southern Indiana! It's too bad it's no longer made - this drink was THE BOMB! Yoo-hoo was never quite as good as Choc-ola IMHO.

dude yoohoo is the best and it's still available

its like.. chocolate water!

Sorry, I don't remember Choc-Cola/Chocola, but I do remember that Nehi produced a Chocolate Soda as far back as the late 50's/early 60's. (When I was a kid, at any rate.) It came in a clear glass bottle, tasted a lot like Yoo-Hoo and you had to shake it also. A lot of people seemed to either love it or hate it. (I loved it!)

I don't remember Choc-ola either but as a kid my mom used to stir a couple squirts of Hershey syrup into a glass of cola. Good stuff!

Are you thinking of Canfields Chocolate soda.

I've never heard of a specific product called choc-cola but there are many restaurants that make a chocolate coke drink which is basically coke with a drop of chocolate in it. I personally think it tastes like river water.

I have had Choc-cola and I have had Yoo-hoo.

In my opinion, Yoo-hoo blows. It has never come close to the smoothness of Choc-cola

But obviously I must be in the minority because they don't make Choc-ola anymore.

Remember their slogan? "Cow Power!" Kinda odd since there wasn't anything that came from a cow in it

Yoo Hoo does NOT come close to as good as Choc-ola (correct spelling) was! I have missed it for quite awhile here in NW Ohio.

Could someone come up with a recipe for something close to the taste, maybe?

I found a chocolate drink at Big Lots (Odd Lots) once (some brand of drink I'd never heard of) that I mixed chocolate syrup with that came close.

By the way, it was not a "cola"; note the hyphen before the "ola".

Also, that was a cow on the bottle, but not "Elsie the Cow".

Here's some great pictures of some bottles and a carton:

Ah . . . more memories.

Thinking of strange sodas I remember a way long time ago (roughly 20 years or so) when I was stationed on West Germany. I got introduced to something very odd. Coca-cola with a little bit of either Lemon Juice or lemonade in it. Not too bad. I highly suspect that it was strictly regional.
