Why do some drinks go down faster than others?

Question

I find that when I'm drinking chocolate milk, it seems to go down much faster than other drinks--and then I usually end up drinking a lot more of it, since it doesn't last as long. When I drink soda, which I enjoy just as much, I can be just fine with one, maybe two glasses during a meal. But if I have chocolate milk, I could go through an entire half gallon of the stuff if I didn't stop myself, just because it goes down so easily.

Yoohoo goes down even faster....I can drink an entire can of that stuff in one breath.

Why is that?

Answer 1

carbonated drinks are harder to swallow, it takes longer to swallow them

Answer 2

maybe it is because coke is carbonated and chocolate is just milk and chocolate and it taste so darn good.

Answer 3

Depending on the thickness of the drink & texture.
