Choco Mint Soy Milk

I was wandering the supermarket last week with Ms. Feebs. She was stuck in the magazine isle and I decided to scout ahead for some of the items on our list, you know, speed up the grocery shopping process. Really I just needed to use the supermarket bathroom. I always feel a little weird walking through the "employees only" door which is double labeled as "restrooms".
"Should I be here? Is this cool? I could totally take some items from the stock room back here but won't I just be paying for them when I check out anyway?" I checked out the literally shitty bathroom, but when I walked out and gazed upon the dairy case it was another adventure altogether.
Of course I'm talking about Silk's new seasonal offering, Mint Chocolate soy milk. The lights shown just a little brighter on this quart of deliciousness and the heavenly chorus of Ohhh's and Ahhh's rang out within my mind. "Are you fucking kidding me?" I asked out loud.
I half jogged back to the Ms. with the treasure in my hand, so fully stoked and thinking she would share my stoke level.
"Ohhh. Nice." she said. I'm pretty sure she didn't care about it. Whatever. I thought about all the days I spent as a glorified messenger, stopping by the Whole Foods for a quart of chocolate Silk and a mint Rice Dream pie. I would crush them both in a matter of minutes before continuing about my deliveries, a bit of taste sensation to punctuate the day.
I managed to wait until we got home to strip the seal and enjoy the stuff properly, in a glass. It looked like an awesome chocolate shake. How did it taste? It was ok. I don't know what I was expecting. I mean maybe it was fucking awesome. I suppose it could never live up to that regular choco Silk, mint Rice Dream combo.
I propose a cheers to the people at Silk for coming up with it. I'm sure they made a lot of other choco-mint fans happy. I should state that I've also tried their Pumpkin Spice jam as well as the Silk Nog, which is popular this time of year. Pumpkin spice is ok, but for the record I will take a Silk nog over a regs nog any day of the year.
