Elvis Hot Chocolate

November 09, 2007 | Other
There's no end to the creativity of the marketing department of Graceland, it seems. We already had Elvis coffee, Elvis sweets, Elvis wine and Elvis barbecue sauce - but here's the brand new Elvis Hot Chocolate. Available in two flavors (for now): milk chocolate with a creamy taste, and a blend of vanilla and caramel flavors. Packed in 10 oz. containers.

I would substitute the word "creativity" for "Stupidity" in the above write-up.

I don't find it stupid. I think it's cool and a fun gift as an elvis fan to friends or something like that. It's just fun.

I haven't been to tribute week in about seven years i miss the interaction with the fans and being a single father i haven't been able to afford it.Its' crap like this they're putting out that makes me glad that priscilla isn't getting one dam dime from me.other than ftd cds or dvds I only collect items that came out before elvis died.I'm not happy either about the souveneir shops that were across from Graceland are now a thing of the past.the people that ran them were nice and would remember you when ever you were in town for tribute week. the whole commercialism bit by priscilla and epe has ruined Elvis week. i used to go every year but,i don't know when I'll ever be back.Thanks

Let's not forget it wasn't much different in the fifties, when Love Me Tender Lipstick was sold.

Nothing wrong with this product - there are worse out there you know! Even the rubberduck, if you use it yourself! However as it is meant for kids it's an ok product

Great. I can now relax in a warm bath with a cup of Elvis Hot Chocolate whilst watching my Elvis ducks float around me. Meanwhile Garth Brooks and his management are pondering on their next multi-million seller. 'Illogical Captain' as Mr. Spock would say!!!

It wouldn't surprise me if they come out with an Elvis "brand" rake & broom set called the "Clean Up Your Own Backyard" set, "Crawfish" cereal, "Ready Teddy" shampoo & "Dominick" themed throw rugs. The hot chocolate I'm sure is delicious but Elvis themed Hot Chocolate just makes me laugh.

Thanks Brian. TMI. LOL

More Elvis "Branding." Wunderbar!! At least this is something I might buy (depending on price). The coffee was way too expensive. Beats the hell out of the trinkets.

I can understand the ongoing battle for the Number 1 spot in music between Elvis & the Beatles or whoever else comes along as rivals. But I never would have guessed that Elvis in 2007 would be in the cocoa arena rivaling against Swiss Miss & the Nestles Qwik Rabbit. This is hilarious.

I would buy it but it never gets cold enough in Texas.

Can't wait for the Estate to produce Elvis toilet roll. I can just see the slogan now: "Wipe your ass on The King, and hear our cash registers ring!"

nice can, also usable for cookies, chips, cd's, teabags, coffeepads, decoration, coins, etc. As you understand, at the moment I try to apply for a EPE marketing job..
Palle wrote on November 10, 2007
Well I would love to hear then your ideas for products!! No matter what you would come up with it would be critized by fans ... as usual

You are all forgetting the truth guy.. Brian Ouinn... U are comparing Elvis' seeling issues to Brooks. First of all... All of you here.. ELVIS IS DEAD... UNfortunately no longer with us...Second we are talking about a company which is trying to keep elvis and his legacy for 30 YEARS... AND u are all blaming EPE for these products. They are all aware of toilet papers and everything. The sales? Dear Brian and others... Who has got the 120 million single sales framed award 25 years of death? Please... EPE was the one to give support for elvis the concert, epe was the one to release elvis number one hits and did every ad. for that. thats's the way it is,aloha,68 comback many many many books and cd releases... look at michael jackson... he is already dead while living and no good release any more.... So be patient and when I bought the h. chocolate and took it to Istanbul TR, at office people who saw they said: "Well this guy is really big and he is in every good thing..."

Exactly what we need they should put the June 77 Photo on the cover, fill it with hot air and label it Blimp Takes Off.

Elvisnites wrote on November 11, 2007
Yes it is jitterbug, and if I told you were to get, they'd probably have me wiped out. Sorry.
Jumpin Jehosaphat wrote on November 12, 2007
of course its available in the US, they only sell the trash here what about some of the finer new cd's. europe of course
Harvey Alexander wrote on November 12, 2007
Is it true that EPE have signed a deal with Dr. Nick to produce a range of tablets just like the ones he gave to Elvis to gulp down by the handful? I've heard that their advertising slogan will be: "Get relief quick with Dr. Nick. You may wind up dead but at least you'll be a legend." And do you people really want to drink hot chocolate just because Elvis' face is on the tin? Jeez, you people are so deluded you should be President of the USA. "Oh say can you see, if there's any hot chocolate left for me....?"
Sirbalkan wrote on November 12, 2007
it is just a normal hot chocolate case showing a pic. of elvis? isn't it the same thing like elvis lipstick? did you all become against it too? no... it is not toilet paper... just a normal drink ....elvis must be everywhere not ofcourse in an unrespectful way... but elvis is everywhere... IN EVERY GOOD THING....

We've had coffee, now hot chocolate. Now it is time for tea or will that only be available in the UK?

Harvey Alexander: For an extra $400 you can get the limited edition authentic "Leather-look" Doctors bag presentation case. But be quick; this unique "heirloom quality" product is strictly limited to twenty million copies. As for the Hot Chocolate, I can think of no better way of celebrating the life and work of the worlds greatest ever entertainer; it makes such a change from all those boring videos and CD's.

You have got to be kidding! This hot chocolate isn't new! Our fan club has been selling it for over a year. And it's very good. It has been a wonderful fundraiser for our charities. I can't understand why someone would get upset over hot chocolate compared to the truly awful stuff like talking heads! At least this is useful.

To Viva, you have a great idea, they could make a Doctor Nick medical Bag with Elvis Picture on it, and the Hot Chocolate inside the bag. All you have to do is send away for a Doctor Nick Prescription Blank from EPE and it yours. Of course it would be a limited edition 50 million world wide. with a profit of 10.00 on each and donate the profits to planting trees on the moon.
