Chocolate, definitely. Never even saw strawberry milk until I was in my late teens.
I haven't drunk actual milk in years, but recently discovered kefir, which is great.

Missed last week with work craziness for aligning my resignation so without further ado here is a new Which One: chocolate milk or strawberry milk? Chocolate has my vote. Just tastes better for me. Strawberry always has a fake kind of taste IMO. Chocolate has variety in you can alter the chocolateyness from lighter to heavier depending upon how much syrup or Nestle's Quik you add. And a chocolate milkshake beats a strawberry one every time for me! Your fave?!? Neither. If I were forced to choose I'd probably say Strawberry, because I just generally hate chocolate in all forms. But I really don't want either. If we're including milk-shakes then definitely strawberry. There's a local place that does fresh strawberry shakes when they're in season. Those are faboo. |

Chocolate. Although I can't remember the last time I drank a shake.

And a chocolate milkshake beats a strawberry one every time for me! Your fave?!? Tough call... Strawberry milk does taste absolutely fake, but it's the kind of fake that I loved as a kid (kind of like the taste of froot loops). If I ever have a sip nowadays my brain's reaction is like "Ooooh, yeah, I remember! How delicious this isssss...no wait, it tastes horrible! Spit it out!" So between the two, probably chocolate milk. But my fave, if we go into shake territory, is without a doubt vanilla. |

Love both flavors, but I'd pick chocolate milk.
I'd be hard-pressed to choose between a strawberry and chocolate frappe though. Gimme both!!

I unfortunately have a mild case of Lactose Intolerance, so I tend to go for either Yo-hoo or Almond Milk when having Chocolate Milk. Regular just gives me an upset stomach. I do just fine with regular milk, I don't know if they add something to chocolate milk or what
Also never cared for Nestle Quik. Not sure if it was improperly mixed or out of date, but it was always a lumpy mess

Chocolate milk for me.
If we're talking proper thick malt milkshakes though, I'd likely plump for strawberry.

Agree with Confessor on both counts.

New Which One appropriate as typing this at 1:04 am. Night Owl or Early Riser?
Growing up I was the perennial night owl especially over the weekend. Friday night and Saturday nights was MY TIME, late night television watching old movies as well for the advent of late night television series becoming a "thing" here in the US with stuff like The New Avengers and Night Justice (Daredevil as a tv series but a judge dispensing on those who escaped him in court) and Forever Knight (late night vampire detective, how appropriate) to fill my young mind. Then of course Saturday Night Live (classic original in the beginning BEST EVER) and reading my uncle's Playboy's and Penthouse while drinking his rum and cokes as I babysit my 2 younger cousins every Saturday night.
And yet I was still awake early Saturday morning and Sunday morning for my cartoon shows. Saturday was a long day for me as it was filled with toon's in the early AM, then science fiction movies on the World Beyond from 10:30am to noon, followed by Action Theater noon to 2pm and Adventure Theater from 2p-4pm for several years until being a teen took over and Saturday became run all over the neighborhood on bike with my friends.
Then adulthood and work has to ruin it all and suddenly the reverse with up at 4-5AM every morning and in bed by 9pm most nights. With occasional midnight or 1AM awakenings like tonight. Oh the joy of your body/mind not knowing whether to sleep or be awake. Guess in my heart I still am the little boy/teen who likes the solitude and quiet of the late nights claimed for my own.

I have been a night owl as long as I can meaningfully remember. At least since high school. I've gotten somewhat better,and seem to go in phases where some parts of the year I am crashing at 10pm, but others it's 2am and I'm twiddling my thumbs waiting to fall asleep. I've never been able to stick to a morning workout routine despite trying to go with friends, family, etc. |

Absolutely early riser. 11 PM used to be the time to go to bed, before I had kids... but having to get up in the middle of the night and rising early to accommodate their youthful enthusiasm meant my wife and I started sleeping earlier and earlier, and the habit stuck.
I love having plenty of time in front of me before the "official" day starts.
I envy the people who get by with only four or five hours of sleep and can be both night birds and early risers. They must be able to cram so much work in a single day!

Both for me. Usually, I turn out the light between 12:30 and 1:30 am, usually up between 6:30 and 7:30am. I've run on 6-7 hours of sleep per night as long as I can remember, even as young child it always astonished my mother. There are rare occasions where I get 8 or more hours on weekends, but my body clock will often wake me without an alarm. No kids in the house to worry about prepping for school every day. Since I work from home, I have an occasional 45 minute "power nap" after lunch, but it's pretty infrequent. If I am sick (very rare for me), I will try to sleep longer if possible.
Mrs. Phantom, on the other hand, could sleep until doomsday if she doesn't have somewhere to be.

At this point, kind of neither. I'm honestly tired all the time and would happily sleep about 18 hours a day if I could.
Traditionally I've been a night owl. Even when I was a toddler my Mom couldn't let me take a nap because if she did I'd be up wandering the halls all night. I've never been a morning person.
Now. I go to bed about midnight. I have to be up for work by 7. And on the weekends I tend be up about 9. But mostly I just love sleeping.
