I never had one, as far as I remember: I stuck to chocolate bars I already knew I liked. Yet, Choco Loto was prevalent then.<\/p>\n<p>I always wondered what the name &#8220;Choco Loto&#8221; meant. I recall the slogan &#8220;You just can&#8217;t lose,&#8221; but never realized what that meant. Now I know that some bars contained vouchers for money back, a t-shirt, etc. I&#8217;m not sure how that all worked, but one example is, apparently, that the wrapper of a Choco Loto bar could contain a 25 cent voucher. The bar itself only cost 30 cents, so, winning that voucher, you just had to pitch in a nickel to get another Choco Loto bar.\n<\/p>\n<p>I never had any inclination to try Choco Loto, and might not remember them at all, except that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oracletutoring.ca\/blog\/retrospect-judy\/\">Judy<\/a> seemed to really like them. Starting from Halloween, grade 5, she often had them: I would see their empty wrappers on her desk, or else see them as she organized her stuff in the morning. I think she liked them more than anyone I knew of. Ironically, I never asked her what was so good about them.<\/p>\n<p>Choco Loto, as I recall, wasn&#8217;t around too long; I can&#8217;t remember seeing any past around grade 7.
