I will never, ever switch to rich, chocolate Ovaltine

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

I don't care how many times the Ovaltine commercial airs on AAR (about six times an hour). They can't make me switch.

1. I can't

because of the sugar in it. Now, if it were made with Splenda and carob, I'd think about it....

2. That is really too bad!!

It is so good.

3. I still remember spitting that awful stuff out....

It was 1960, and I don't suppose it tastes any better now.

Thanks for the laugh. :)

11. It's a different formulation now

I don't like it enough to pay the extra $$$ for it. it tastes like any other chocolate mix now-I liked the one you are talking about.

BRING BACK 'CLASSIC' OVALTINE!

5. In that case you can just forget about

your Captain Midnight Secret Decoder badge.

6. Who owns Ovaltine today? It's cool to be an AAR advertiser.

Although I drank Ovaltine in the 1950's, I have no memory left of it's taste:shrug:

10. It used to be owned by a Swiss....

...pharma company, Sandoz. I believe Sandoz sold the brand name to a British company. Either way, it ain't an American owner (never has been... I think it's ownership was Swiss from the start).

By the way, they have the cheesiest commercials!

7. It makes me sleepy. :D

8. I had some sometime in the

1960's. It was weird, malty flavor as I recall. Not chocolatey at all. It may have vitamins in it and stuff but I will stick to Nestle's Quick. Or I should say "Nesquick." LOL.

9. All I remember about it is that it wouldn't dissolve

12. "All I remember about it is that it wouldn't dissolve"

that was the BEST PART! mmmmm! undissolved chocolate stuff.

now it thoroughly dissolves. :cry:

13. Ah, yes! Now that you mention it

I do remember that too! You could stir and stir til your arm fell off and there would stil be those chunks in the milk. Yuck.
