Hey Gone But Not Forgotten Groceriers! (wait, is that a thing?)
Every once in a while you come across an item that is so forgotten about that even the mighty internet is of no help to you.
I googled Choco Boom, and it told me I had cancer. (Come on Web MD....you're better then that).
I also found one other person, The Urban Archeologist (http://www.urbanarcheologist.net/) who didn't know what this stuff was either after finding several empty cans.

But yeah, I don't have much on this one. It's another weird mystery that I wish I could solve but can't. So what do I know?
It's a product put out by Nestle's in the early 70's.....a chocolate flavored drink. Think Yoo-hoo. Yeah, you got it....
The only other thing I know is that if they did in fact make liquid dynamite, under no circumstances drink it. I mean, come on...use some common sense.....you'd be blown up.
BOOM!
Choco Boom.
Legendary DJ Bruce Marrow of WABC/WNBC face (Cruisin' Brucie as he was called) was sort of the spokesperson as you can see by the comic book ad below, so maybe I should contact him and get to the bottom of this.
I have a feeling this mystery has only begun......hopefully more to come......
Great post, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHave you tasted TAB lately? It's like fingernail polish (and I don't mean that in a good way!!

id be interested in buying these cans.
ReplyDeleteI know nothing of this drink, but having grown up in Northern New Jersey in the 1960s, listening to 77 WABC, I can tell you Bruce Morrow was known as COUSIN Brucie.
