One store/Gas station in Morse, LA had it instead of yoohoo. Glorious time to be alive and visiting Morse, LA as a kid.

Yes! I had to settle for yoo-hoo for my Armageddon preps.

frick that. One time between houma and baton rouge in the 80s, we stopped at a convenience store and I got one.
Well, turns out it was expired and food poisoned me. Ended up vomiting all over my uncle's new saints merch he had picked up. Was on the passenger floor and the vomit hit me hard.
He later said he should have taken it as an omen in how the season would go.

Yeah, I could go for a Delaware Punch. Used to buy it out of a machine in front of the Mandeville K-Mart, while it was still closed post-Katrina. Good times.

If you took a sip you took the whole bottle down. Physically impossible not to down it all.

Oh yea. Way better than Yoohoo

Had a teacher at Ponchatoula that would always say he would give whoever got the answer right a chocolate soldier.

Yoo-Hoo and chocolate soldier is the same product. They are just cooked at different time lengths. They used to be produced in Opelousas years back and my Dad was plant manger there for a long time. He hired me for a temp summer job one summer in high school to do the grunt maintenance work. I used to love smells of the mixing room.
That plant was a pretty good customer up until it closed (and moved all production to New Jersey)
Very cool people there. Most of the times I'd visit, the maintenance guys would send me with a couple flats of fresh, steaming hot- right off the line Yoo-hoo. Good times

When Cadbury schwaps owned Yoo-hoo they used to let employees take home product. My Dad was always bringing stuff. One year he brought home a pallet of Yoo-hoo and we passed it out for Halloween. I would sneak about 4-5 bottles a day to school and sell them for $1. People would come up to me like I was a drug dealer every morning
Cadbury Schweppes owned Yoo-hoo when I dealt with them . They were awesome about sharing product

Chocolate Soldier and a Charleston Chew from T. L. Smith’s store....charged them on my parents’ account.....mid 70’s. Rode bikes and took the alley between the store and the Oak Ridge Cafe’. Sat on a bench on the sidewalk outside the front door of the store and enjoyed the snack. Mr. T. L. wore a patch over an eye that we kids were told had been lost in combat in WW2. What a difference between then and now!
