Chocolate Milk (1881, 1925, 1929)

[Bapopik at AOL.COM]

   "Chocolate milk" is not in OED and not in Merriam-Webster.  Not that it should or shouldn't be in there--I'm just doing it because it's "American food and drink."  You have to drink something besides "bloody mary" and "martini" and "root beer" and "pink lemonade" and "iced tea" and "smoothie" and "milk shake."
   The first NEW YORK TIMES hit is this:

   8 June 1925, NEW YORK TIMES, pg. 3:
   Inspectors have reported on samples of chocolate milk sold in bottles.

   There seems to be no chocolate milk in bottles before this--not in the NEW YORK TIMES, BROOKLYN EAGLE, HARPER'S WEEKLY, American Periodical Series, Literature Online, North American Women's Letters and Diaries, and Gerritsen Collection.
   The 1929 thesis below should be looked at.  However, what do we make of the 1881 "chocolate-milk in powder"?  And the only library that has this is--Harvard Business School??
