The story · 1982

The story of Snow Day Cocoa

When the radio announced school was closed, the Snow Day Cocoa came out. The tiny marshmallows were crunchy right out of the packet and melted into a sweet foam on top. You drank it in wet mittens after sledding, with your cheeks still red. The best part was picking the marshmallows out first with a spoon.

Fun fact

Kids who ate the dry marshmallows straight from the packets were the reason most boxes had only nine left.
