- You still love chocolate milk, right? I mean, who doesn't love chocolate milk? Apparently there is a 40-PROOF ADULT CHOCOLATE MILK out there, and the spokesman is none other than your favorite '90s R&B player, Ginuwine, posing as (what else?) the milkman. - While dusting away at an Armenian cave, looking for ancient shoes or something, scientists uncovered a "winemaking operation" that dates back more than 6,000 years! This is the oldest-known wine cellar in the history of history. Check out Gawker for details on the old-school way of doing it. - The hot commodity in prisons these days is apparently the sickly sweet honey bun â used as a means of currency and a sweetening agent in producing bootleg wine out of fruit juice by inmates, reports Slashfood. - Winter makes everyone laaaaazy. It's cold, and we (by we I mean I, and probably we) snack away to stay warm. If you don't have time to check yourself, it's OK â you can acquire your own personal diet coach! A robot! A personalized robo-nutritionist! You can find all the details here. Wait, what? - Not sure the robot would approve, but check out Food In Jars' recipe for Maple Almond Butter. I imagine this would be absolutely divine on a slice of fluffy toasted brioche. - Thanks to the Food Network and endless chef reality shows, even 5-year-olds are food know-it-alls these days. Now, they have their very own publication to geek out just like the rest of us â Ingredient Magazine. LESS TV, MORE READING! Kids make great at-home sous chefs. Just keep them away from the knives.
