Is Chocolate Milk really the milk with blood in it?!
About ten years ago as I was drinking chocolate milk, a man I worked with stated that chocolate milk was the milk with blood in it!. I believed him because his family owns a dairy farm!. He is usually a serious person and was in his late forties!. Up until a couple months ago I have been too grossed out to drink it!. Now my current boyfriend just said the same thing!. Is there any truth to this!?!?!?!? I love chocolate milk but can't stomach the thought of blood being in it!.!.!.!.Thanks!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
Its not blood I promise you!. The blood they are refering to is from old black and white movies Chocolate syrup was used to SIMULATE blood and nothing more!. If your still kinda hesitent about buying chocolate syrup just buy the coco powder and mix your chocolate milk that way!.
Check this out, its really kind of exciting and interesting to read!.
Chocolate Milk
Chocolate milk sounds so simple!. When and where did it start!?
It appears that "chocolate milk" (or "chocolated milk") began in the South and came to New York in the 1920s!.

They wanted to induce children to drink more milk!. And this led to the idea of chocolate milk!.
But I found, as hundreds of dairymen have found, that good chocolated milk is a problem!. The ordinary mixture is not very popular!.
Walter K!. Jahn, the famous food chemist, had a winter home in our section (Jacksonville, FL -- ed!.)!. I came into contact with him, and explained our problem to him!. He supplied me a chocolate syrup which he had spent 11 years in perfecting -- a syrup with rico flavor, a syrup which blends with milk!. And he gave me a formula, using skimmed milk and whole milk, to make an ideal chocolated milk!.
At first we put this out in our regular 8-ounce bottles!. It became at once the most popular drink in Jacksonville!. Ot sold six times as well the first summer as another chocolate milk without this quality and flavor!.
Walter K!. Jahn then organized The "400" Products Co!. to supply this syrup to dairymen!. He named the drink "400!."

In addition to the chocolate drink known as "400" and also the one marketed as "Angel Drink" which in each case is marketed and bottled as a beverage through the milk dealer, attention has now been called to a chocolate syrup known as "Cho-Cho!." In this case the dealer sells the syrup which is of a malted flavor the syrup being used in the milk by the consumer as desired!.
We will be interested to know whether there are any other products of this kind upon the market with which our members may be familiar and which have not been drawn to our attention!.

The Story of Angel-Drink
How its Use Increased From a Single Dairy to Hundred During the Short Period of Four Months
In May, 1922, a milk company desiring to increase its business engaged the service of Carl D!. Spencer and Company, business experts, for that purpose!.
A meeting was called to discuss ways and means of increasing the milk company's business!.
At the meeting the officials of the milk company told the representatives of Carl D!. Spencer and Company that they had planned to put out a chocolate milk which was to be known and sold under the name of Famous Chocolate Milk!.
The Spencer experts frowned upon the idea of using a name which could be used by any of this milk company's competitors, taking the stand that all of the advertising done by this concern would go to stimulate the chocolate milk business of any competitor who desired to manufacture and sell chocolate milk, and also that any interest aroused through the advertising of this milk company in chocolate milk would merely develop a demand for chocolate milk in the soda fountains, and the soda dispenser would, of course, mix his own chocolate milk, using perhaps the milk purchased from a competitor of the milk company doing the advertising!.
Carl D!. Spencer and Company took the matter in hand for the client, originated the name Angel-drink, and put the campaign across so successfully and at such small expense that Angel-drink immediately attracted the attention of others!. (!.!.!.) The first bottle of Angel-drink ever manufactured and sold was put out on the seventh of June!. (!.!.!.)

By H!. BLOUNT HUNTER
"CHOCOLATED milk" or chocolate milk, as it is called at the soda fountain, is not a new thing!. It is not a recent invention or discovery, except as an adjunct or addition to the business of the milk dealer!.
For more than a generation chocolated dairy drinks have been sold at thousands of soda fountains, under the name of chocolate milk shakes, or simply, "Chocolate milk!." Various kinds of mixing machines havbe been invented for mixing, from the old time mixer that went up and down like a churn dasher, to the modern electric mixer that is now used at most every soda fountain!.
(!.!.!.)
Chocolate milk has been running "neck and neck" with the Cola drinks at the fountains of the South for the past ten years, and this means that it is a bigger seller in this section than beer ever was!.
(!.!.!.)
The sale of chocolate milk by the milk dealers or dairymen is comparatively now!. Among the places where it was first sold were the soldiers camps in the South; but the supply of milk was too limited, and the amount of chocolate syrup available at that time was insufficient to meet the needs of the soda fountains, because of the prevailing sugar shortage!.
Within the past two years the manufacturers of chocoalte syrup, which had proved a success in the South, began to develop the chocolate milk business in the North and West, where they found an abundance of milk, and greater opportunities than existed in the southern states!. We found that the appetite for chocolate and milk is just as strong in the North as in the South!. It is simply a matter of satisfying this appetite!.

Inspectors have reported on samples of chocolate milk sold in bottles!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
No this is not true!. I love chocolate milk too and my brothers used to tell me me the same thing once i was too old to believe the whole chocolate milk comes from brown cows thing!.!.!.hehe!. but this really is just a myth as far as I know!. The FDA would not allow milk with blood to be sold to the public and if that were happenng and the FDA found out about it then somebody would definately be getting fined a lot of money!. They dont allow any milk to be sold until it is pasteurized to "clean" it up anyways, that is illegal to sell unpasteurized milk and other dairy products!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
this is definately not true!. there is no way they would just put chocolate into milk to hide the blood!. people are mean to tease you like this!. you should just make your own chocolate milk so you wont have to worry and you wont be grossed out anymore!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
yes it is, on cows when they are milking them, utters get chapped and start to bleed, so when the blood gets into the milk, they use this milk for chocolate milk that way the chocolate will hide the color of the blood!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
It's not blood it's syrup or powder, but they used to use chocolate syrup for blood in movies (like "Psycho")Www@FoodAQ@Com
no that's not true!. chocolate milk is just milk with lots of crap in it like corn syrup so it's creamier!. It is tasty though (:Www@FoodAQ@Com
No and if u do belive it buy normal milk and chocolate milk powderWww@FoodAQ@Com
It is milk with Chocolate syrup or powder in itWww@FoodAQ@Com
No,not at all,it's only milk,nothing elseWww@FoodAQ@Com
Nope its not blood its coco powderWww@FoodAQ@Com
