Chocolixir

Godiva Chocolatiers have come up with a summer product to try and rival Stabuck's claim over Frappuccinos and other summer frozen drinks: Chocolixir. In three tasty flavors (Dark Chocolate, Milk Chocolate Caramel, Raspberry White Chocolate), it's meant to give the chocoholics a chilly cocoa fix for the summer. Jen and I had a chocolate break from work Tuesday to give the frosty beverage a go. We initially spent 5 minutes trying to find the Chocolixir Van giving out free samples on Park Avenue. The closest we came was Jen spotting a parked white truck and running towards it with me strolling behind and catching up to the corner. "Jen," I said, squinting to make out the letters off the side of the angled truck,"that's a FedEx Truck." We walked to Godiva on Lex and 50th and had to cough up $5 each for a cup. It was mighty delicious though they have some issues minor issues. I got all excited thinking there was an enormous spherical piece of chocolate at the bottom. After closer inspection, I realized it was an unchopped piece of ice. Think about fixing the chopper on the blender, Godiva.
