I rented Ovaltine. Thought it was a near perfect drink.

12. Trivia time - courtesy of Wikipedia

"Ovaltine was developed in Switzerland, where it is known by its original name, Ovomaltine (from ovum, Latin for "egg", and malt, originally its main ingredients).

"Ovomaltine was exported to England in 1909; it was a misspelling in the trademark registration process that led to the name being truncated to Ovaltine in English-speaking markets."

10. LyricKid LOVES Ovaltine.

He flat-out refuses to drink Hershey's Syrup-made chocolate milk. He says it tastes like "chocolate water," lol.

Ovaltine, though...yuuuum. That stuff is like chocolate pudding that you can drink! I put a spoonful in LyricKid's hot chocolate when it's cold to add some extra flavor and vitamins. It makes the best chocolate milk EVAR.

11. I like Nesquik - dating from my childhood

When we were broke, Mom bought dried milk and so we kids could make our own breakfasts (chocolate milk and toast - cereal was too expensive). Mom mixed Quik with the dried milk. We'd mix up hot tap water with the powder and got instant hot chocolate milk - years before they sold the little packets of the fancy stuff. Now that concoction tastes vile but Nesquik with low fat milk is still my favorite choice for chocolate milk.

I don't think they sold Ovaltine down here when I was a kid. And Hershey's Syrup was reserved for putting over ice cream.
