More Rich Chocolatey Ovaltine, Please
Ray Nagin took a side trip down surreal street this week when he responded to questions about his "chocolate city" comments with this explanation:How do you make chocolate? You take dark chocolate, you mix it with white milk and it becomes a delicious drink.
This offbeat comment has made Nagin the internet Pariah of the Week, spawning "Willy Wonka-esque t-shirts, and fake news stories about Hershey's being hired to rebuild the city.
I can see what Nagin was trying to say in his first speech, but just wished he had articulated his points better instead of trying to be clever with a sound bite.
