Starbucks
Anywhere in the Kamloops (perhaps the world?)

I don't think that Starbucks has particularly good coffee unless you take it home and brew it yourself. However, it does have excellent marketing and packaging which I can't resist. Anyways, I love the Chantico drinking chocolate. I prefer to have it in the shop served up in a porcelain cup with a saucer. It is rich, creamy and sweet...unlike the hot chocolate which can be bitter unless you ask for extra chocolate flavouring. This cup of pure decadence is $3.16 including taxes. While I think this is a stand-alone item, I agree with my friend that a very mild cookie or wafer would make dipping a lot of fun. So since it is the season to get fatter, go ahead and indulge in a cup of chocolate heaven...perhaps one of these days they'll sell it in large enough quantities that one could take a bath in it.
PS. On my way into Vancouver, there was a billboard advertising a chocolate university. While I was happy to try Chantico...you would be amazed at my disappointment that there wasn't such a thing as a chocolate university...hey Starbucks, why not? McDonalds has a hamburger university!!!
