Ovaltine

landhoney · 03-24-2009, 11:43 AM

My wife went to the grocer the other day, came back, and said "I may have some bad news". They changed the packaging/label, and she was afraid they changed the taste/ingedients too. I ripped open the top, took a smell and was worried, it smelled different. I immediately made myself a glass........ahhhh

Same ol' same 'ol. Same great Ovaltine, they had not changed the recipe, to my tastes anyway.

In short I love Ovaltine, and I mean love. Easily a large glass a day, very often more. If they had indeed changed the recipe, I had plans of driving around and buying all the 'old blend' I could find. Like Elaine in that Seinfeld episode with the sponges.

Any fans? I doubt it, very few other adults I know enjoy it. But I cannot get enough.

Also enjoy Ovaltine, find it's a great substitute when I am burned out on caffeine. Anyhow, thought I would mention there are a number of different blends; malt, Chocolate malt, Dark Chocolate, Original, and perhaps couple more. Currently have the chocolate malt, and dark chocolate blend, like them both but definately tell there's a difference.

Chocolate, strawberry, or strawberry-banana? It's been some time since I have tried it, intend comparing ingredients; sweetners, vitamins, etc., and possibly add to shopping list.

For change, occasionally put a scoop of Ovaltine in coffee.

Don't get me going on Scotch, single malt, perhaps Glenfiddish, or Belvenie 15 yr., etc., etc., but that's an entirely different thread.

Make sure to drink your Ovaltine.

I just had a glass today. I've always had nesquik and never tried ovaltine.

Never had Ovaltine. I like Vodka and Grapefruit juice in the AM.

My dad used to make it for me when I was a kid. Haven't had it in years.

There's a drink in Cuba called Malta that is very reminiscent.

I love the chocolate. I seriously drink one of the big containers every other week!
