The Delicious Way to Win an Election
In this election year, there are legions of political analysts, consultants and pollsters desperate to find the key to winning their respective races. Is it substance? Style? Money? Patronage? Or might it be something much more simple than that? One resident thinks they've got it. As submitted to D.C. Appleseed's "Solving District Problems" online initiative:
This idea won me the vaunted class presidency in fourth grade and I see no reason why this splendid idea can't better our city. I would like to see DC Appleseed push for all city waterfountains to offer a choice between water and chocolate milk. Mmmm....chocolate milk...aren't you just happy thinking about it?So simple, yet so true.

Back in the late 70's-early-80's, I remember the guy who won my 5th and 6th grade class presidencies used the tag line "While I can't promise Coke in the water fountains..."
Funny, back then I thought it was just a McLean/Great Falls VA thing. Then coke, like hot-tubs, was popular in the 'burbs.
And. A recent study (backed up by sports nutritionists, although funded by the dairy council) has found that chocolate milk is as good or better than sports drinks at replenishing nutrients in athletes and allows athletes to return to the game with more energy and stamina. Something about the protein in milk and the chemicals in chocolate.
Yeah but it would be better if it was chasing a good Italian Hoagie!
How about beer in adult only fountains?
