5 Reasons Yoo-Hoo Rocks My Socks ...

tuccioholic.com — Yoo-Hoo was as much a staple of my childhood as Nintendo and Darkwing Duck, and as such I think it needs to be recognized for its beverage-laden accomplishments; accomplishments that so many seem to overlook.

      • po43292, on 07/01/2008, -0/+1Thanks for ruining it, ass. Yoo-hoo and beer are pretty much the best drinks ever invented. Ovaltine is a close 3rd.

        And by the way everything gives you cancer! Don't you read?
      • RaisinZero, on 07/01/2008, -0/+1Yeah really...This stuff is so awesome, it probably cures the cancer it could give you...Yeah...

        And who the hell wants to die a normal death anyway...Natural death FTL
    • uncouthyouth, on 07/01/2008, -0/+2The new "double fudge" flavor:
      Discuss.
      • po43292, on 07/01/2008, -0/+1Awesome. There's a mocha-coffee one too. I'd take that over Starbucks any day.
  • JMellissa, on 06/30/2008, -3/+44Yoo-Hoo was the official soft-drink of the seminal band "The Ramones"!
    Nuff Said!
    • wattznext, on 07/01/2008, -0/+1i never want to hear the words "yoo-hoo" and "seminal" in the same sentence ever again
    • jeffreym, on 07/01/2008, -1/+1Yoo-hoo tastes like dishwater!

      • catfish182, on 07/02/2008, -0/+1if dishwater tasted like yoo-hoo then it does!
    • simplysoleil, on 07/03/2008, -0/+1Yoo-hoo isn't carbonated. Therefore, it can't be a soft-drink, *****. =]
      that was Chocolate Soldier. which was NASTY.
  • sterntastic223, on 06/30/2008, -13/+25Rocks my sandals. ***** socks.
  • marabout40, on 06/30/2008, -15/+5Sorry, not a fan of any food that's loaded with HFCs.
    • dha07030, on 07/01/2008, -4/+5A sense of humor, do you have one?
    • Halsfield, on 07/01/2008, -9/+3are you implying the guy who wrote the article was doing satire dha07030? otherwise marabout40's comment had nothing to do with having a sense of humor or not, and more to do with just not like food with unhealthy chemicals in it. If you buried him for that I think you need to re-read what the bury/digg system is for.
      • dha07030, on 07/01/2008, -3/+2No I did not digg him down, I to do not eat food with HFC, BUT his comment was unnecessary for this story. Also the article is suppose to be funny, lighten up.
      • Lukesed, on 07/01/2008, -1/+3Really? HFCS is unhealthy? People are against solute fructose and glucose now? Crazy hippies need a biology lesson.
      • Halsfield, on 07/01/2008, -3/+1his comment was unnecessary? so digg him down, thats the whole point of digg. If his comment was unnecessary yours was even more unnecessary.

        I thought the article was funny, smartass pricks like yourself are the unfunny part.

      • Halsfield, on 07/01/2008, -2/+0lukesed : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_fructose_corn_sy ...

        super sugary foods/drinks (especially those with HCFS) are terrible for you, i guess your biology class didnt teach you as much as you thought?
      • dha07030, on 07/01/2008, -0/+1@ Halsfield

        I never insulted you but you had to go and call me a prick. Get a life.
      • drunkinbda, on 07/01/2008, -0/+2who the hell cares how unhealthy it is or loaded with HFCS (since you guys are into your health acronyms)...

        of the 5 points i never saw anything about health, so why bring it up. If you dont like yellow, then say it...
        if you only like drinking from bottles, or hate the smell then mention it..

        ya id say the initial comment was somewhat unnecessary, mainly because it was so serious.
      • Lukesed, on 07/01/2008, -0/+2@Halsfield
        All I got out of that link was that if I eat too much sugar I'll get fat. No *****,
  • lordewoks, on 06/30/2008, -3/+69I got my YooHoo from a box, not a can.
    • Thrash16, on 07/01/2008, -0/+83I got mine from a glass bottle...

      • owls27, on 07/01/2008, -5/+10I drink Ovaltine...


        The drink of weenies.
      • SubaruPowah, on 07/01/2008, -1/+3Why do the call it ovaltine? The can is round, and the glass is round. Why don't they call it, Roundtine?
      • SpencerMc, on 07/01/2008, -0/+2Ovaltine is chocolate milk that is GOOD for you.
        It completely overturns expectations by having a taste : healthiness ratio that approaches 1.
        It's the bastard child of an unholy union between chocolaty goodness and health food.
        I think that's pretty metal myself.
    • jerrysizzler, on 07/01/2008, -3/+2i get mine from a cornhole

    • ChromaVita, on 07/01/2008, -1/+12Would you say they're better than Cheetos?
    • Soniti, on 07/01/2008, -1/+5The cheetos people need to talk to the R&D at Yoohoo; Cheetos has a fatal flaw; the orange mess that gets on the fingers... No amount of soap and water can take it off, and you're left orange-handed for quite a while...
      • davidrools, on 07/01/2008, -0/+21use chopsticks...keeps your game controllers clean too.

    • rabiddachshund, on 07/01/2008, -0/+2Not down south. Down here they call it Yeah-hoo. That chocolate drink? Well that's a Yahoo.
      They don't so much speak the language as chew it up and spit it out.
      BTW: I like Yoo-Hoo, but for me it goes out the same way it comes in: chocolate water.

  • ZTFerrari, on 07/01/2008, -2/+6I signed in just to digg this.... I buy yoo-hoo whenever I find it, reminds me of being little (plus it is DELICOUS).... tasty milky/watery chocolate
  • buckwilson, on 07/01/2008, -1/+1The absolute best thing about Yoohoo is its drinkability. I can down Yoohoo easier than I can down water. I'm pretty sure I can drink a whole bottle in one gulp.
  • JasonCox, on 07/01/2008, -1/+13Digg because this had nothing to do with Yahoo/Microsoft

  • reelskamachine, on 07/01/2008, -2/+3That was the most pathetic list ever. It didn't really list reasons as much as it did the only 5 features it has. Sight, sound, smell, feel, and taste. Basically it listed the 5 sense. buried
  • curtislaycraft, on 07/01/2008, -1/+2I always wondered what that stuff was like. I couldn't get in Canada.
