I'd had a Chantico from Starbucks before, and wasn't that impressed. I thought people raving about its strength and how they couldn't even finish it were, frankly, pussies. So, after English class, needing a shot of chocolatey goodness to get me through what's left of Dies Irae Valentine's Day, I stopped off at Starbucks and ordered two.
That was a mistake.
It would seem that my previous Chantico was made by an inferior barrista, at something like quarter-strength. I can now speak only in jitters.

Super chocolatey I can take -- I think my blood is something like 37% cacao -- but if it's super sweet, I won't be able to have it. I myself have refrained from trying it, because the mocha is about as sweet as I like my chocolate these days. Even Starbucks's hot chocolate is too sweet for me.
Caffiene has no effect on me, which is why if this Chantico is half as strong as you say it is, it'll be a welcome addition to my attempts to pull all-nighters.

Yes, I can see how the Chantico would help with an all-nighter.
