Bloody hell. Is a Dennys hot chocolate even that good?

It's mid tier, but there's a certain degree of richness to it that's interesting.

You'd get much better making your own. You can tweak things to get the levels of bitterness, sweetness, earthiness, etc.

I mean, obviously the story is fake or exaggerated, but I can imagine someone getting hit with a wave of nostalgia from the taste of it, especially after a long time of not drinking anything chocolate like that. Denny's is better than you'll get out of machines, or if you use water to make it at home. I don't know how they make theirs, but it's as good as the packet hot chocolate made with milk, but a little less "gritty". None of it is really gritty really, but there's a degree of something similar in the mixes that has a similar feel. I'd say chalky, but that isn't right either.

But if you're on the road and in need of a pit stop and something hot, it's better than their coffee for sure

Hot chocolate is a common thing in these stories, come to think of it.

I made my own hot chocolate once. I flew too close to the sun.

I kept adding chocolate (and cocoa powder) and sugar again and again. I wanted to see how much would be too much. Problem was I was tasting it after each iteration. By the time I realized my own taste perception was getting numbed, I had gone way , way too far. Nobody else could even drink it. Even I could only drink half a cup and I was buzzing.

Moral of the story: cleanse your palate kids. It could save your life.

I've done that lol. It was still awesome, but it was intense. I think we all forget that chocolate is a stimulant until we do something silly like that. I had the jitters for the entire day.

wave of nostalgia

Assuming of course that this is even slightly real, I might guess that OP used to get Denny's hot chocolate with his parents as a small child or something like that. Sense memories can hit you hard, and you might not even necessarily realize what the cause of the wave of emotion is.
