I laugh at Nestle&#8217;s poor attempt to make warm chocolatey memories with women.<\/p>\n<p>Do you women want warm chocolatey memories that you&#8217;ll never forget?  Well just stick of bottle of chocolate syrup into the microwave for 30 seconds, grab a Costco-sized bag of mini marshmallows, tear open a box of graham crackers and get ready to turn my body into human s&#8217;mores.  <\/p>\n<p>Oh wait.  Did I say warm chocolatey memories that you&#8217;ll never forget?  <\/p>\n<p>I meant to say warm chocolatey memories that will forever be etched into your brain and haunt you every time your eyelids close, like a hairy, chocolate-covered Freddy Krueger.  Now that I&#8217;ve got that image in your head, ladies, perhaps to cope you should cuddle with a mug of Nestle Women&#8217;s Wellness Hot Cocoa, a women&#8217;s magazine and watch <i>The Notebook<\/i>.  <\/p>\n<p>Or guzzle a bottle of tequila.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/theimpulsivebuy\/4944271909\/\" title=\"Nestle Women's Wellness Hot Cocoa Mix 2 by theimpulsivebuy, on Flickr\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm5.staticflickr.com\/4074\/4944271909_0b4e39c6fc.jpg?resize=500%2C375\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Nestle Women's Wellness Hot Cocoa Mix 2\"\/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>The Nestle Women&#8217;s Wellness Hot Cocoa Mix is like a women&#8217;s multivitamin, except in liquid chocolatey form, which makes it easier to swallow than a multivitamin.  It contains 25 percent of a woman&#8217;s recommended daily intake of vitamin A, vitamin E, vitamin B12 and vitamin B6; 30 percent of vitamin C and iron; and 35 percent calcium.  It&#8217;s also 99.9 percent caffeine free, which is disappointing if someone was looking for a quick pick-me-up.  Although if one were to add a bit of Kahlua, it could turn into a quick pick-me-up, which I like to call Wild Women&#8217;s Wellness Hot Cocoa.<\/p>\n<p>Without alcohol, the Women&#8217;s Wellness Hot Cocoa pretty much has the same pleasant chocolatey flavor as regular Nestle Hot Cocoa, although I think it might be slightly creamier.  I also whipped up a serving using vanilla soy milk, which made it taste significantly better.  The six-ounce serving each envelope makes is awfully small, but it&#8217;s a common serving size when it comes to hot cocoa mixes.<\/p>\n<p>Because the Nestle Women&#8217;s Wellness Hot Cocoa Mix is made for women, I expected it to make me cry like <i>The Notebook<\/i> does when Allie remembers who Noah is one last time and they pass away together in her bed holding hands.
