Bosco had by far the best flavor of the commercially available chocolate syrups back in the 1940's. I think Hershey's was its closest rival, but there was also one called Cocoa-Marsh, which included liquid marshmallow in its formula.
I grew up on Bosco in the jar, I also bought it for my kids and oh my gosh they still remember it, would love to be able to buy it again in the jar, my kids would eat teaspoons of it. have not found anything like it since
I loved Bosco, it was rich and chocolate-ty. Chocolate flavored Bosco was mighty good for me. Mama put it in my milk for extra energy. Bosco gave me iron, and sunshine Vitamin D. Oh, I loved Bosco - that was the drink for me!
BOY! Do I remember the Bosco! I'm 61 yrs. old, but I well remember my pre-teen years, when I drank Bosco. I even remember how it tasted! I even recall putting it in my cereal back then. While we are on the subject of Food, Candy, Drinks, a couple of things I miss the most is RC cola and moon pies. I remember I used to buy one of each and it would cost 15 cents for both! Thanks for the memories!
