Is There A Hot Chocolate Shortage In Illinois?
A couple of days ago, I had the taste for hot chocolate but I had a problem finding any in the Rockford area.
Where Can I Get Hot Chocolate In Rockford, Illinois?
I will admit, my beverage game could use some help. It's really boring. I pretty much drink water and that's it. Every once in a while, I'll get crazy and go slush, or when it's cold out I'm a huge fan of hot chocolate. That actually sounds good right now.

A couple of days ago, my wife and I were out Christmas shopping. It was one of those really cold days. I was freezing so I decided I needed some hot chocolate. I didn't think it would be a big deal but apparently, it is.

I went to several places before I just gave up and went home without any hot chocolate. My stops included 2 Dunkins, the McDonalds app, and a gas station. None of them had hot chocolate. How is that even possible?
In fact, I didn't get any hot chocolate until the next day. Finally, I was at the Museum of Science and Industry and they had a hot chocolate bar. I'm sure I could've stopped at Starbucks but their drinks are expensive.
I was shocked that I couldn't get hot chocolate at the normal places. Are they not serving the hot beverage anymore? Is there a mix shortage that I don't know about? How does a donut chain not have it?
My wife did offer to make me some but the little packages just don't taste the same. In this case, I like drive-thru hot chocolate better. If you know anywhere good in the Rockford area, please let me know.
