2. Two things...

1. Ovaltine tastes like chocolate only when eaten directly from the jar.

2. There's a big gray message saying "Remote linking forbidden..." along with some gibber about free accounts. Try http://www.imgspot.com where they freely take pics, no registration required.

3. Yes, it's good, BUT

the regular jar I bought yesterday was over $5!! For what would be, according to the directions, only 16 servings. Either I'm getting ripped off, or I'm getting cheaper as I age...

5. Great product....

... but they've run the cheesiest commercials for years on TV and radio. I mean, a guy comes into a frickin' bowling alley with a push cart of Ovaltine? It's like something out of a Fellini movie.

7. And that pushcart guy looks positively creepy, doesn't he?

He's all shiny and not quite freshly shaven...

8. Kind of like Jeffrey Dahmer.

Then there are the Children of the Corn who gather around him, with their hysterical chant, "More Ovaltine, please!".

9. Horrible commercials

The one that really makes the hair stand up on my neck is the one with the little sugar addict emoting, "Ovaltine rocks!!!"

No - Ovaltine does NOT rock.

"Rock" has become a totally worthless word, no more useful than "awesome".
