What You Should Know

You'd spot this in the coffee & tea aisle or grabbed as a single-serve stick near the checkout—an easy grab for cold evenings, movie nights, or a quick treat for kids. It reads nostalgic and comforting, but the instant creamy texture and ingredients like xanthan gum, natural flavors, and alkali‑processed cocoa point to industrial formulation and ultraprocessed characteristics.
