The concept of evaporated milk was first thought of in 1852 by a man named Gail Borden, during a transatlantic ship journey, when the cows aboard the ship became too seasick to provide milk. It was another two years before Borden's first experiments with condensing milk produced a milk that did not go sour for three days - bearing in mind there was no refrigeration at that time.

Borden was granted a patent for sweetened condensed milk in 1856 and began commercial production the following year. Unsweetened condensed milk, or evaporated milk as we know it, was not canned successfully until 1885.

When was drinking chocolate invented?

The Swiss began making chocolate in the mid 1800's. Switzerland, at the time, had cows but did not have abundant commodities of chocolate and sugar. In 1876, M. Daniel Peter attempted to add milk to chocolate to produce a smoother chocolate. However, adding water to chocolate made the chocolate shrink, separate and generally disintegrate. Milk has water in it, and it took Peter 8 years of experimenting before taking his product to Henry Nestle, a maker of evaporated milk. Nestle had perfected the manufacture of condensed milk, and he and Peter hit upon the idea of mixing sweetened condensed milk with chocolate(reference-http://www.middleboro.k12.ma.us/Middleboro/CHOC/Chocolate.htm)
