Social sucking
French wine is now available in cartons with straws. Sosyal! The straw is supposed to be “special” as it “recreates the sensation of tasting wine from a glass” (also known as “drinking”). Now you can go to that snooty cocktail party in the designer outfit you maxed out your credit card for, and suck wine from a tetra pak with a straw. It’ll be like drinking Chocolait at recess time (Is there still Chocolait?). You can toast your host with cardboard, then stand around marveling at the bouquet of the vintage. Remember to stick out your pinky while sucking!
On the other hand, no lipstick stains on glasses—in fact no glasses, and no bottles to smash on table and carve up someone’s face with.

Chocolait meron pa. Choco-Vim tagal na wala.
How are you supposed to express anger-contempt if what you have in your hand is a tetrapak? Blow into straw to inflate tetrapak then release and squeeze with straw pointing at face of offender?

yes, Magnolia Chocolait is still very much alive. i miss the days when it was still available in milk bottles.

I agree, no glasses, and no bottles to smash on table and carve up someone’s face with, disposable wine tetra packs, however, will surely contribute to the ever growing non-biodegradable objects on the face of the earth.

No more Magnolia Chocolait. Nowadays they call it Nestle Chuckie. =P

Was in the grocery a couple of nights ago, and saw a neatly lined-up Magnolia Chocolait 1 liter packs on a shelf.
