Use Ibarra table chocolate then. It might be slightly more difficult to find, but should be very comparable.

Just out of curiousity, why no Nestle?

I generally avoid Nestle products (wish I could say I was a firm boycotter, but I cave every once in a while).

I have racked my brain for the last 60 seconds for a way to find out, and can’t come up with one. If I do, I’ll investigate.

I would guess it’s the other way around…the generic term preceded the brand-name chocolate…but that’s just a hunch.

Why would you say that? Seems to me that the opposite is a much simpler explanation, since:

1) The Nestle brand has been around in Mexico for over thirty-five years; and

2) It seems unlikely that the word for “little grandma” would spontaneously become the word for hot chocolate without a pre-existing brand name to create that association.

Because it’s also one brand name (Ibarra also comes in tablet form).
