Throwback Thursday - Big Shot Chocolate Syrup

You know what I love about the Internet, Pinterest, and vintage treasure hunting?  There are always surprising things out there that bring back a flood of memories ... like Big Shot chocolate flavored syrup for milk.  This syrup was made by Pet Milk in the 1960's and came in a metal can.  It had an aerosol type spray mechanism, like Reddi-Whip.  Like many 1950's - 1960's packages, it had a cute anthropomorphic design.  I recall actually preferring the taste of chocolate milk from the dairy case ... but it was more fun to make chocolate milk with Big Shot as a little kid.  Do you remember this syrup?

Hi Bev, I don't think the product is made anymore but you might be able to find one of the vintage containers on eBay or Etsy.
