Rich, Chocolatey Ovaltine.
Vitamin enriched chocolate powder. Also comes in chocolate malt flavor.
Yummy Ovaltine.
My mom teases me when she catches me eating the powder right out of the can. It has this wonderful texture and dissolves in your mouth in a way that other chocolate powders, such as Nestle’s Quick, can’t even touch.
A glass of Ovaltine is the beverage equivalent of looking at nudie pictures of James Marsters.
Mmmm. Ovaltine.
I’ve never had it. What am I missing?
You’re missing chocolatey goodness beyond compare
Drinking it makes me want to dance in my underwear

Just so long as I don’t have to drink any of that “Original Malt Flavored Ovaltine” crap. Bleah.
If you’re interested, Thea Logica, the Ovaltine Museum is located in Lombard, Illinois.
I agree with tracer: so long as it isn’t the malt flavor, yum! It’s usually cheaper than Carnation Instant Breakfast stuff, and mixes into the milk better to boot. (For some reason, chocolate IB stuff never mixes into the milk well with me. But the strawberry does.)
Now, if only I could find a nice jumbo-prepping-for-the-next-big-one size in the plain ol’ chocolate flavor again, I’d be happy.

Man, the number of times I only had time for a glass of Ovaltine for breakfast, and it got me all the way through a school day. Love the stuff.

A large bowl of vanilla ice cream.
Sprinkled liberally with Ovaltine.
Heaven.
Right down to the crystals swirled in the melted sludge at the very end.
Heaven, I say.
That reminds me: the next time I go to Oasis, I should get some ovaltine bubble tea. For some reason, I’ve had it only once or twice that I can remember… but it was good! 
Oh yeah, I should also get around to getting some Ovaltine powder and such from the store, as well.

More Ovaltine, please!
You’ll shoot your eye out!
I actually kind of like the original malt flavor, but I do prefer Rich Chocolate. My mom loves Original Malt. She was very pleased that I brought home an industrial-sized can of Ovaltine from Wal-Mart today. (Please don’t flame me for shopping at Wal-Mart).
I’ve been on an Ovaltine binge all day. I don’t know why. Maybe it’s because I’ve been sick off and on for the past week and a half and my body craves vitamin-enriched chocolatey goodness mixed with milk.
I’ve always thought you could put whoppers and milk in a blender and get the same effect as ovaltine really ,

Why do they call it Ovaltine? The mug is round. The jar is round. Why don’t they call it Roundtine?

We were never allowed to have Nestle Quik as children, only Ovaltine, which had vitamins. Let’s hear it for Ovaltine! Bringing chocolate milk to the children of resposnsible adults everywhere!
No thanks. In THIS house it’s a mixture of Brooklyn’s own Fox’s U-Bet chocolate syrup, and Horlick’s malted milk powder.
Preferably in the blender with some milk, vanilla ice cream, and a banana.
All together now :
We are the Ovaltinies, little girls and boys
Make your requests, we’ll not refuse you
We are here just to amuse you
Would you like a song or story?
Will you share our joys?
At games and sports we’re more than keen
No merrier children can be seen
Because we all drink Ovaltine
We’re happy girls and boys.

Ovaltine was a lifesaver when I was pregnant. One of the few things that would help with morning sickness was milk, and spiking it with Ovaltine increased my nutritional intake drastically.
I keep a jar of it in the cabinet, in fact. Yummy Ovaltine!

A crummy commercial?!
