Choc-Ola is back!

[shooter1054]

I just read an article in The Southside Times, a local weekly newspaper saying that a llocal man has bought the rights to the old Choc-Ola and is bringing it back. For those not familiar, Choc-Ola is a chocolat flavored drink that was around from 1944-85. It brings back memories of my childhood.

I think it was around longer than that; we had it in the vending machines when I was in high school in the (very) early 90s. Or maybe those cans were just that old... <<shudder>>

I was just quoting from the article so its possible...that the cans were that old. Remember, I know where you went to high school....<<<shudder>>>

Used to drink it while watching Popeye and Jannie, and Cowboy Bob! Ah... the days of WTTV channel 4.

Tasty stuff! Funny thing is we were just talking about it this week at work, wondering if it was still around.

Even if it was the early 90's, I can hardly believe its been that long! God I'm getting old.

Channel 4 Kids Club Card

shooter1054 and I were re-living the classic Bob & Tom bit "the Haunted License Branch" at the shop last week; the line about needing to see the guy's "Channel 4 Kids Club Card" always cracks me up.

GOOD EVENING......MUAHAHAHA...... The man is timeless. Nightmare Theater is classic.

BTW, for all you "oldtimers". Didn't the guy who did Sammy Terry also do the weather for Channel 4 for awhile? I mean WAY back!

I believe you are right. I used to spend time with my uncle when i was 7-10 ish and he ALWAYS had some for us.

That would put it at least until at least 1992. Though i think he had it while he built his house and that was '94.

I love that stuff...

the lone ranger used to be on after/before them as well. Does nostalgia mean we are getting old? Maybe it's just the freakish three inch long eyebrow hairs that grow overnight.

Want an even better deal on that gun we're holding for you? Turns out, I can be bought with Choc-Ola.

DONE AND DONE!

Wow, I guess I never knew it went away. Funny how things you love disappear and you don't realize it until people talk about it coming back. Choc-Ola was my absolute favorite growing up. I can't wait to have a taste of my childhood.
