Choc-Ola Lives!

If you have not read this blog for very long, let me introduce you to the strange workings of my mind.

Until recently, maybe it was some time in prison, I had not thought of Choc-Ola. A chocolate milk drink in a glass bottle that was around 50 years ago. I know I found people in prison from the East Coast who had never heard of it. Only when I stopped doing 120 mph through life did I realize I had no idea what had become of Choc-Ola - along with several other things.

Turns out I was not the only one interested in the subject. Dawn Mitchell wrote an article for the  Indy Star, Whatever happened to Choc-Ola?   It is alive and well in Indianapolis.

See, one thing that I am trying to do with my fiction is to include all the detritus that makes up our lives - Choc-Ola and bubble gum pop and slogans from TV commercials and bad movies as well as the more high-minded. That is history.
