Orange hot chocolate: "It's like a Halloween communion"

Seriously. Those words were uttered on the copy desk the other night.

My friend Holly got a packet of orange hot chocolate a while back from someone who knew how into Halloween she was. (There's an annual event called Hollyween. The girl is into it.) And yep, orange. As in, when you mixed it with water, it would turn orange. We all thought this was the neatest thing ever, so we decided to hold a tasting one evening at work. (We have nothing better to do, right?)

So we open the package, and it's white!

We heat the water and grab a bunch of cups for the brave souls willing to try it. It looks more like Tang than anything.

In the end, it turns out it was too watered down to taste like anything. One taster remarked that it tasted "orange." (The good thing about wielding the video camera is that you don't appear on video.)
