Here's one I did just a few moments ago. Maybe not so much as an embarrassing moment than just plain funny. I'm at my folk's place to housesit for a week while they go on a cruise and my sis goes on a school trip to Yellowstone Natianal Park. They all leave bright and early at 7 tomorrow, so they're still here right now. But anyway, it was snowing
again earlier this evening, and being cold, I decided to make myself some hot cocoa. So I boiled some water, spooned some cocoa into my cup and stirred the water in. But at tasting it, I cringed. It was horribly bitter! I couldn't figure out what went wrong. I looked at the cocoa contaner, and it turns out it was indeed cocoa. Not HOT cocoa. Just cocoa. I had to add like five heaping teaspoons of sugar and some milk before drinking it. And then it kind of tasted like Starbucks' sadly departed Chantico Drinking Chocolate from a few years back. Very good, but very strong, and I could only take a little bit of it at a time.
The cocoa is made by a brand I'm not familiar with, and the container looked just like most
hot cocoa contaniers. My parents also had it on top of the fridge where they always keep their hot cocoa. So it totally threw me off. It was still funny.
