That same gummy, liquid-marshmallowy nastiness that I’ve grown accustomed to throughout Europe, as there are so many products that seem to be this exact formulation (or derivatives thereof). The packaging is neat and enticing here, but that's where the fun ends.
Flavor is slightly better than some of the other cupped milkshakes I've had in recent times, but the goopy thickness is difficult for me to get past. There are way more indulgent tasting products that don't carry nearly the caloric price tag that this does.
Has a bit of a sugary/sticky feel to it and delivers a candied chocolate flavor that feels immature and overly sweet. Heavier does of cream wouldn’t hurt, but the underlying cocoa flavor isn’t one that is worth trying to enhance through embellishment of the supporting cast.
Extremely thick, but maintains some creamy aspect which is the drink’s high point. There’s really no cocoa flavor, or no other flavor in particular that comes to the surface. It is like a toned-down, more pleasant version of the nasty thick cupped milkshakes that plague much of northern and central Europe.
Sweet and earthy— not my preferred framing of a chocolate milk. It feels inauthentic as a result, and might have you checking if milk is the first ingredient (or if this is one of those water-based chocolate ‘drinks’).
The hockey-playing cow on the package is definitely the high point. It’s less-sweet (no issues there) but has a strong sour and boozy twang that is an unwelcome departure from the chocolate you expect.
Definitely a vitaminy taste that borders on metallic and somewhat of a fugazi texture. I would consider the “OK” on the label to be a bit of an overstatement.
Could use some salt, but overall a pleasant surprise in that it was potable. Only 45 calories and 4.5g sugar, with 5.3g protein per 100mL-- the stats are definitely better than the taste, but you can't have it all.
Mild mineral/metallic taste to it that is difficult to ignore— as there’s not much else contributing meaningfully to the flavor.
Sour and earthy, with a decent slab of chalk mixed in. Leaves a drying sensation to the mouth that makes you want to drink more— more of something else though.
No chocolate whatsoever, and a modest sourness that lands in the back of the throat. It’s sort of creamy, but honestly tastes too much like its container.
Really odd cocoa flavor that dissipates quickly— perhaps because the fat content doesn't seem to deliver on the creamy expectations the numbers might provide. It has great aesthetics, but for me, doesn't deliver on the chocolaty or creamy hopes that you might have for it.
Thin and super smooth— and the positive qualities end there. It’s a sullen-looking gray color that delivers no enjoyable flavor characteristics. A mild sweetness is the only thing that registers on the palate, and although it’s smooth, it feels a little plasticky.
Ugly white foam across the top eventually dissipated, but the flavor remained the same sweet, watery, familiar, candyish chocolate that we all associate with Yoohoo.
Unnaturally thick texture which doesn't feel milky. It is reminiscent of Fairlife, but definitely not an improvement (despite a little more protein and a bit more sugar). Mild metallic aftertaste is thankfully fleeting.
Fairly bland, the stevia leaf taste kicks in post-swallow and mars an otherwise tasteless experience. As far as reduced sugar versions go, it's not bad— but compared with average chocolate milk, especially side-by-side, it can’t compete.
Compositionally the same (?) as the Hy-Vee 1% Chocolate Lowfat Milk— and the same salty-and-not-much-else flavor. Sadly, I prefer the flavor of the Kemps Swiss Style Chocolate Lowfat Milk that had high fructose corn syrup and artificial flavor.
Salty at first taste, and not much else afterward. There’s not much sweetness, but what is there tastes artificial. Largely bland and unexciting.
Grainy and provides a drying sensation in the mouth. Noticeably chocolate flavor, but it's not particularly good-tasting chocolate. It's potable, especially coming from a can, and it may be less sweet than you'd expect. Nonetheless, it's a lower-tier option.
Emulsified, but watery. Cocoa presence, but…watery. Deep down, it wants to be good— it wants to taste like hot chocolate, but the flavor is too washed out, making the taste incongruous with the average-thickness texture.
