I was glancing down the page and read about Ah-Dee’s Belly again.
It occurs to me that I too got some medicine flavored with Hershey’s syrup as a little kid and — this is true —I haven’t liked chocolate milk or chocolate ice cream since. I’ll eat an occasional Hershey’s candy bar and Hershey’s kisses, but I don’t like chocolate sundaes or chocolate shakes or dark chocolate cake or dark chocolate frosting or chocolate pudding.
Maybe my memory is wrong or maybe it’s just a coincidence, but is Aidan still drinking chocolate milk?
(Chocolate milk is a superior energy drink by the way — as if I’d know.)
I was thinking about this a little more and realized while I do like M&Ms, I always avoided the brown M&Ms thinking they were more chocolaty (though they aren’t, of course). I’d blame the psychological impact of the chocolate flavored medicine for sure for that one, except I also now remember resisting the medicine because it had chocolate and I already didn’t like chocolate. I could probably justify a couple of years therapy over this. I wonder if Dr. Melfi is accepting new patients.
