Do you yoo-hoo?

About a month ago, I rediscovered the amazing chocolatey drink Yoo-hoo. I couldn't help but wonder, why do I like Yoo-hoo so much more than other chocolate milks? At first I thought it was because it comes in a yellow wrapper (I'm a sucker for good packaging). The more I think about it, the more I realize that the reason I like Yoo-hoo so much is it reminds me of my childhood. Everyday in elementary school, at recess I would go to the drink machine and purchase a Yoo-hoo. After a rough day of sitting still through all of my classes, Yoo-hoo represented freedom and joy to my 10-year-old self. I think it gives me the same feeling now. Because there's nothing better in the world than coming home, sticking a straw into a cold box of Yoo-hoo and relaxing. Granted, as soon as I finish my drink, I have homework, resumes and other "adult" things to worry about, but for five blissful minutes, I am a carefree 10-year-old, enjoying a Yoo-hoo.

P.S. Another thing that reminds me of my childhood: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aI4JLa0hbUw
