Dunkin' Donuts Milky Way Hot Chocolate, and Hockey, and Football

Have You seen that excellent Dunkin' Donuts commercial: Freezing at Pee Wee Hockey? What's excellent about it, I guess, is the song. Or maybe it's the absence of Rachel Ray. Either way, the idea is, while you're siiting and watching (and playing) pee wee hockey you get cold, can't feel your hands, and need some Milky Way Hot Chocolate to warm up.

A small (that's 10oz) Dunkin' Donuts Milky Way Hot Chocolate is 200 calories (60 of them from fat) and contains the following ingredients: Water, Milky Way Hot Chocolate Powder (Sugar, Non Dairy Creamer (contains partially hydrogenated coconut oil, corn syrup solids, sodium caseinate (a milk derivative), dipotassium phosphate, sugar, mono- and diglycerides, sodium silicoaluminate, sodium stearoyl lactylate, soy lecithin, artificial flavors, and artificial color (annatto and turmeric)), Cocoa Powder (processed with alkali), Nonfat Dry Milk, Natural and Artificial Flavors, Confectionery Flake (contains sugar, partially hydrogenated palm kernel oil, cocoa, chocolate liquor, cocoa processed with alkali, and soy lecithin), Sodium Citrate, Molasses, Salt, Cellulose Gum, Caramel Color, and Silicone Dioxide).

Why am I telling you this today? Because Dunkin' Donuts, that crazy sports drink company, sponsors the Giants (and the Patriots, and the Eagles, and the Jets). I know the Giants are playing in balmy Dallas - and that even if they were at the Meadowlands it's not too cold here - but I assure you it's nice to have a hot coffee (or chocolate) at a cold football game...but maybe Milky Way isn't manly enough for the NFL?
ha, like those fat NFL fans are anti-candy. that's funny.
