Retail giant Costco stocks shelves with alcoholic chocolate milk
By DAILY MAIL REPORTER
UPDATED: 14:17, 31 December 2010

First there was alcoholic whipped cream, then the controversial Four Loko caffeinated strong drink - and now retail giant Costco has put its considerable weight behind a new brand of alcoholic chocolate milk.
Adult Chocolate Milk, which comes in a distinctive 250ml bottle with a swing-top cap, is being sold in a high-profile spot in Costco stores in California.

According to Edwin Goei, a blogger on the OC Weekly website, the 40 proof alcoholic milk was being displayed just inside the entrance to the Tustin store.

On sale at Costco: The 40 proof Afult Chocolate Milk is being sold at retail giant Costco for around $15

He said: 'It wasn't hidden in some back corner of the warehouse, where the rest of the booze is stored. It was displayed right smack in the front of the store, at the entrance, the first thing you see as you flash your membership card.'

The drink has gone on sale relatively recently, but is likely to draw the same criticism as its alcoholic friends Cream - the alcoholic whipped cream - and Four Loco.

Adult Chocolate Milk was developed by Newport Beach mother Tracy Reinhardt, who claims she mixed up the liquor in her kitchen after putting her kids to bed one night.

After enjoying the results and spotting the marketing potential, she teamed up with Nikki Halbur, a former classmate from Santa Ana's Mater Dei High School.

Maybe it's time dairy farmers were propping up the bar (with their product).

This letter has been written in response to an article by Chris Rundle who criticised the NFU's recent post-election event:

Sir,

I read with interest Chris Rundle’s latest column in the Western Daily Press (May 13th) and I feel that, yet again, he may be letting his imagination get away with the facts.

In his latest column he criticises the NFU.....
