Trader Joe’s says: Shelf stable chocolate milk? It’s like moo-sic to our ears! Keep these convenient, single serve packages in your pantry until you’re ready to use them. Best chilled, this chocolate milk is udderly convenient and organic to boot!

We say: The complete name of this beverage is Trader Joe’s Organic Chocolate 2% Milkfat Reduced Fat Milk. The words ‘milk’ and ‘fat’ each appear TWICE in that title. Also, they mention that it is ‘best chilled’. After consuming this milk at lukewarm, we can say that under no circumstances should this one drink this milk at any other temperature than icy.

Now that the labeling shenanigans are over, please be aware that this is not a ‘health’ item. Sure it is only 2% milk (not whole!), but it still packs in a whopping 30 grams of sugar. We happen to not give a damn about that. Why? Because it is super-freaking-chocolatey. And not chocolatey in the sense of candies that contain pseudo chocolate (Baby Ruth, we’re looking at you), but chocolatey in the way that a S’more contains chocolate.

We’re giving this milk 5 stars for these 5 important reasons:

  1. It is shelf stable. While this might seem creepy, in actuality it is fantastic and will give you more fridge space for beer.
  2. Zero grams trans fat.
  3. Organic. Meaning it won’t make us prepubescent at age 7
  4. Chocolate! Wonderful, wonderful chocolate chocolatiness.
    Warning: do not consume with something else chocolatey (Oreos, brownies, etc.) or the milk will be overpowered.
  5. Cheaper than osteoporosis.
  6. Comes with a straw

Yeah, that’s 6, so sue us.
