I\u2019ve never been a big fan of buying hot chocolate from a gas station, food truck, or stand. Why fork out that money when you can go home and make your own from a powder? It\u2019s a lot cheaper, and you won\u2019t waste a disposable cup.<\/p>\n
But, strangely, there\u2019s something alluring about buying food from 7-Eleven. It might be overpriced garbage, but it\u2019s tasty garbage. A guilty pleasure.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
When I filled up my cup with 7-Eleven\u2019s Mint Oreo Hot Chocolate, I was excited about how thick, chocolatey, and sugary it looked. What could be better than that on a foggy, freezing day? But it would be several minutes before I would actually get to try it. <\/p>\n
First of all, it was very steamy when it came out, and I wouldn\u2019t be able to taste it if I scalded my tongue. Second, I didn\u2019t want to be tasting it and taking pictures there in the 7-Eleven. Would people be judging me? (I did some judging of my own at 7-Eleven: I was grateful the cashier didn\u2019t touch my cup or give me a receipt because she had just sneezed into her hand. Srsly, people, Dracula sneeze!)<\/p>\n
And third, I recently got a new car, so I made it a rule not to eat or drink in it. I put my cup in the cup holder and didn\u2019t touch it until I got to my work\u2019s parking lot.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
When I finally tasted it, it had cooled but was still warm. It fulfilled its purpose as hot chocolate: warm, chocolatey, comforting.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, it fulfilled its purpose as Mint Oreo Hot Chocolate in all the wrong ways. The mint flavor was only subtle, and the Oreo flavor was even more subtle. A few sips almost seemed bland. Yet the one way it did seem like an Oreo was in a slimy, oily mouthfeel. It felt like I had a wad of Oreo creme in my mouth, but without the satisfaction of that actually happening. They left out the best part of a Mint Oreo (the flavor) but kept the worst (the post-cookie mouthfeel).<\/p>\n
During the cooling period, a lot of the flavor had settled to the bottom, so the last few sips were better than the rest had been. I thought, \u201cOh, maybe it\u2019s not so bad.\u201d But then it occurred to me: if I had drunk it before the flavor had settled out, it would have been more flavorful than most of my experience, but it still would have been more diluted than the end. As it was, I thought the dregs were on the low end of the flavor I would have liked. <\/p>\n
If your car breaks down on a winter\u2019s day and you\u2019re stuck next to a 7-Eleven, the Mint Oreo Hot Chocolate would comfort you against the chill. Otherwise, you\u2019re better off making your own from powder and dropping in a candy cane.<\/p>\n
