PDQ in Tin Foil I’d say I wasn’t pampered, I wasn’t treated special but but when I was in grade school kids could buy for their school lunches either cartons of milk or cartons of chocolate milk and I didn’t like milk, mom’s the first to tell the story that I refused my bottle at six months so juice I had but I loved chocolate, and I love chocolate so I always drank chocolate milk but I told mom that the chocolate milk from the school cartons was too chocolately it tasted almost like the chocolate tasted granulated it tasted too dark and mom, every day before school, would put the chocolate product PDQ into a little container of wrapped tin foil in with what I needed for school so I could mix PDQ into a carton of regular milk every day, so I could have chocolate milk just the way I wanted Copyright © 2006 Janet Kuypers.
