Espressochoc
Created | Updated Jan 28, 2002
An unusual drink commonly served by British coffee machines - a mixture of Espresso coffee and chocolate. It is usually served in a small plastic or polystyrene cup and is dark brown, with a thick head of pale brown froth.
So how do you drink it?
1. Slurp up the froth.
2. Wait a few minutes for the rest of the drink to cool, or risk irritating burns to tongue.
3. Enjoy! But beware, the further down the cup you get, the more powdery the drink becomes, until at the bottom of the cup one finds a revolting mixture of powder, granules and thick brown liquid.
4. Dispose of said mixture in the vague direction of the bin(or someone you don't like).
In the UK, Espressochoc is mainly consumed by people who drink it because it's the least noxious thing in the machine and they need it in order to survive the day. Some people also drink it because they like it, but if you took it away from them, you'd find they needed it to get through the day as well. Sixth Form common rooms across the country are littered with recovering Espressochoc junkies who while away the hours playing cards against one another.
