I just buy the supermarket brand chocolate chips to keep around the house. it shows the price per ounce right on the label on the shelf; cheapest chocolate in the store. sure, there’s better chocolate out there, but it beats Nestle and is at least as good as Hershey. plus I prefer the bittersweet flavored chips over milk chocolate, which is the usual budget choice in the USA.

To be fair, I haven’t done the Hershey’s syrup thing since I was a kid unable to just go out whenever I pleased to buy myself chocolate.
Now I’d be more inclined to do something like get a classy-looking hip flask, but fill it with mini chocolate chips. Keep people guessing, either way.

Considering that this guy is a legislator, I’m definitely going with whiskey, rum, or some other non-clear booze mix.
It’s how I’d spend my time in congress…

That may or may not happen with the maple syrup bottle in our house.
Any chocolate syrup that I might be so foolish as to bring into the house will be immediately and totally consumed by the feral teenagers within.

“Of course I’m not drinking chocolate syrup. You people must really think I’m a deviant. No, I sanitized and re-purposed this bottle and now I keep my purple drank in it.”

Hershey’s of any description, liquid or solid, is pushing the definition of chocolate somewhat imo.

““It’s a repurposed syrup bottle that I drink my water out of,” Calfee said Tuesday, according to the newspaper. “I’m not going to buy a $25 or $35 or $45 water bottle”
Bullshit - it’s Sterno. And no one pays that much for a cheap water bottle - which he’s gotten hundreds of as promotional items at events for free anyway.

Wow… I had to look that up and sure enough, it’s a thing. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised given the level of woo some people buy into.
If I want gemwater, I’ll be doing this.

I have also been known to drink straight from the chocolate syrup bottle. You can’t shame me! Syrup drinkers unite!

I seem to recall studies suggesting that re-using disposable bottles is sure to contaminate the water therein with accumulated bacteria or BPA or something – but then, I doubt purposefully re-usable bottles are necessarily that much better.
How fortunate this, at least, did not take off:
I expect someone is just waiting to make a stink along the lines of, “Uh-oh, did accepting that promotional $45 water bottle subsequently influence your legislative decisions!?” Such are the times in which we live.
