message: I have never heard of chocolate milk being called "CM". Maybe this is regional slang, but even so, it should be cited and explained further. Thank you, MontySpurling 00:28, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

message: "This mixture should be stored at 0.5 to 4 °C (33 to 39 °F)." where are these numbers from? and isn't 0.5°C a little too cold?
: If I recall correctly from my grocery days, most dairy cases (particularly orange juice) recommended 33-35°F, and never more than 38°F. Most of the milk came in crates, so they didn't have the temperature recommendations. 68.228.155.76 01:53, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Hot chocolate isn't just chocolate milk that's been heated up. It's a totally different beverage. Or am I wrong about this? Simulato 06:16, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Wikipedia's hot chocolate article itself seems to back me up on this, so I've changed the wording. If anyone disagrees I suppose the article will have to be tagged... chocolate milk is a very polarising topic, after all. *laughs* Simulato 09:29, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Some companies have created a straw in which stirring is not necessary. You simply place the straw into plain milk, and when you drink it, it will taste like chocolate.
Unfortunately, in 2003, this method was recalled because the flavoring pellets were toxic. However, the original prototype was improved and the pellets are now relatively safe. You must proceed with caution however, because the true effects of the pellets are not completely validated. In a recent study of 475 Californians, 52% had some type of negative feedback associated with the pellets, most noticeable stomach pain.
This needs sources and I'm not totally sure it's relevant in the article. Also needs some rewriting to make it suitably encyclopaediac. Simulato 19:43, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

message: This article seems to have a little bit of an American bias. The page should either reflect the fact that this is mostly American, or include more european or at least non-western references. 71.169.41.167 (talk) 22:57, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Dead link in first citation 

message: Specifically in the Nutritional Values section. A few examples:
"Chocolate milk contains 9 essential nutrients, B vitamins for energy to get you going, and the combination of five bone building nutrients-calcium, Vitamin D, phosphorus, protein and potassium." - "Energy to get you going" does not belong in an encyclopedia. This is definitely not written from a neutral point of view and reads like an advertisement.
"Contrary to popular belief, chocolate milk has been proven in several studies to actually be healthier than white milk." - "Proven in several studies" is a ridiculous statement considering studies don't ever prove anything.
"The importance of magnesium in all of these bodily functions is due to the fact that nerve impluses need to accurately transmit messages throughout your body during exercise." - Not only is this information irrelevant to the subject of the article, but it's also extremely informal ("your body") and sounds like propaganda written for children. 
I'm not qualified to edit this article myself, but it really needs some attention.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:A000:4B41:A00:1D70:2A36:5F1C:971B (talk) 06:42, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

message: The "Heterogenous mixture" section below Source -> Homemade reads like a health/recipe blog and not an encyclopedia. Why is this here? Like
"Dairy fats like cream contains saturated fat that is negative for the health. Instead essential fatty acids may be added like linoleic acid found in significant quantities in commonly available oils such as sunflower oil, or corn oil." is incredibly biased 198.84.225.238 (talk) 18:17, 20 May 2022 (UTC)
