Legit cool story.

And I didn’t discriminate. whenever at a gas station and my dad said I could get something, it was either which one they had.

Every now and then I’ll get some Yoo-hoos for my daughters and I love to see their faces light up when I tell them their Poppa used to make them I might go pick up a case today in remembrance of him

For some reason I’d always pick chocolate soldiers over Yoo-hoo even though I new it was the same thing. I guess it was a mental thing because you’d see it less in stores.

It was located in the industrial park out by the airport. A lot of folks don’t realize Opelousas has an airport.

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




Nice

I literally knew none of that.

I loved them, probably drank 10 gallons of them.

Wish that they were still around.

Why would you downvote this post? He asked what the one word chocolate drink was that is written diagonally and I posted it, you illiterate nutria frickers.

Exact same ingredients, it’s just the difference in cook times gave a different flavor

I thought they were made in Baton Rouge off of Choctaw? I would have bet money on that.

I guess I would have lost.

That shite was the bomb. I went through a phase circa my early teens / late 1980s when I pounded those on the regular.

Favorite all time drink from that era was longneck bottles of Pepsi so cold they had ice forming inside and sold from the bait shop at the Fourchon dry dock where I worked. They were stupid cheap, even for that time. Maybe $0.50 IIRC. I’d crawl out from inside whatever boat we were rehabbing and go buy two of those Pepsis. Drink one standing there and take the other back with me. Good times.
