"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.

Dear SmittytoFeebs,
This is just crazy. I found myself at the Pathmark just last week with the Heidle when I happened to spot the Chocolate Mint Silk too in the dairy case. I was checking the situation out to see if I could spot some Silk Nog since I seem to have somehow missed out on that flavor all together this holiday which is rare because I normally stock up on it ASAP as soon as I know it is available. At any rate, I said, "what the heck?", let me try this out as I was in the mood for something light and chocolatey. When I got home I crushed two tall glasses of it immediately. It went down smooth and was ice cold. I just finished the last of it off this weekend. The minty-ness is just perfect as it isn't too overpowering. Two thumbs up, Silk. Way to go, Cathy!
Hey, Feebs, I just wanted to say that I don't appreciate you calling my bathroom cleaning "shitty". I work hard to clean the employee restroom, and you should feel fricken' lucky that you were able to use it. Next time why don't you just pee on your leg in aisle 4, next to the canned soups. I'd rather clean that up, then the spray you left all over the toilet seat in the bathroom that day. Oh, and if I ever catch you on the other side of that door, explicitly marked "employees only", i.e. (not you), you don't really want to know what...but, I didn't get to be janitorial supervisor for nuthin. On a side note, I really like Mint Chocolate Silk as well. Keep coming back for all your shopping needs, just remember to use your own bathroom before you leave the house. Cheers! -Bruce
