Wow, haven't looked back at the Cho Cho forum in 3 years and there is
still no find?
Cho cho's were ubiquitous in the '50's. I am so surprised there is no
real history of production or former makers or employees that
remember them who wish to discuss.
Will start looking again. Only Tucker's in Alameda has them. But
based on an earlier post, they don't compare at all to what most of us
recall
Oh well, let's not give up.

Oh, my goodness!
Yesterday at a family BBQ, my brother and I were talking about the ice cream man coming by in his truck and my mother giving us .07 for the wonderful Cho Cho Ice Cream Bar! That was 45 years ago, but we still remember how delicious it was. He travels all over the state for his job, and says he still looks for this illusive ice cream bar. Does anyone know where to buy it? Thanks! LillianI

Carnation Milk Ice-Cream #64316

2 teaspoons gelatin (dissolved in 1/4 cup very warm water and allow to stand until mixture is clear)
4 litres Change size or US/metric
7 minutes 5 mins prep
1. Beat salt, vanilla and milk at medium to fast speed until ingredients triple in bulk.
2. Gradually while still beating add sugar followed by gelatine.
3. Place in container and freeze for several hours stirring occasionally.

Ok here goes. I have been trying to make Cho Cho for several months. I have a Soda Fountain Ice Cream Blender,green, Hamilton Beach Blender. I remember the Cho Cho's being light chocolate in color and in taste, with Malt. I have been mixing white ice cream, two dabs of chocolate, Carnation Malted Milk powder. I am close, but not close enough. I will keep on trying.

I remember them also. I love anything with malted anyway. But has anyone tried http://www.hometownfavorites.com or the http://www.thevermontcountrystore.com?
Hometown Favorites will try to find lost foods for you and also has a list of foods not sold or made anymore. I had them look for Nabisco's marshmallow sandwich cookies once, they were two vanilla wafer cookies (soft) with marshmallow in the middle. They were so delicious. I came to find out, two months before my quest, Nabisco stopped making them.
The Vermont Country Store, also searches for lost products and foods. Hope this might help.

I even went the route to contacting and paying the US Patent Office for info. I had purchased a cup on ebay. I received info on the cup only. I then wrote to the city where the cup was made thinking they could shed some light on Cho Cho on a Stick. I never received a reply. Has anyone had any luck. If any of you know anyone in the business, they would be wise to look into this product for their sales.

I have been looking for the 1950 Cho Cho on a stick for 50 years. I thought I found it when I came across Tuckers in CA. Ordered minimum and paid $160 in my quest. It wasn't even close to a 1950 Cho Cho. Just wanted to pass this on to anyone who is tempted to go that route. I shall continue to search. The people at Tuckets are very nice.

I remember cho chos from when I had an ice cream cart in the late 1940s in Enola, Pennsylvania. I sold Spagnolo's ice cream, made by a little company across the Susquehanna River, in Harrisburg. I've often thought cho chos tasted somewhat like frozen Oveltine, though somewhat sweeter. I wonder if Oveltine could be churned like ice cream and produce something resembling cho chos?

Hi (is it Tom?)
This is Diana from this website. I am also a native San Franciscan and went to Lowell, and then to Galileo for my last 2 years of high school. What a small world. Do you still live in the city? I have moved up to Sonoma county where we have more room for our dogs.
So, Cho Cho's were made by Carnation. I don't know if Carnation is still in businees or if they were bought out by Nestle. Wish they still made those wonderful Choc Cho's and also I do remember those red wax lips. Great, huh?
That website you speak about from the Russian River at Rio Nido sounded great. What happened to it?
Well, take care fellow San Franciscan, and I hope you continue to visit my website.

Cho Chos. I enjoyed them in the 1940s also, and as a native of San Francisco (Hawthrone, Horace Mann, Lowell)if I went to the corner grocery store for a cornicopia, I always chose a Cho Cho. At University of California Football Games a large Cho Cho was sold in the 1950s. It was made by Carnation. Lots of Candies from the 1940-1950s have been showing up, remember those red wax lips. There was a great web site from the 1940-1950s on the Russian River at Rio Nido for a while, but it's gone now. PS Growing old is not for Wimps.
