Spiritually speaking, why do they call it Ovaltine?

The mug is round. The jar is round. They should call it Roundtine.

    Ovaltine was developed in Berne, Switzerland, where it is known by its original name, Ovomaltine (from ovum, Latin for "egg", and malt, originally its main ingredients). Soon after invention the Factory moved out to the village of Neuenegg a few kilometres west of Berne, where it is still produced.

    Ovomaltine was exported to England in 1909; it was a misspelling in the trademark registration that led to the name being truncated to Ovaltine in English-speaking markets. A factory was built in England which exported to the United States as well. By 1915 Ovaltine was being manufactured in Villa Park, Illinois, for the American market. Originally advertised as consisting solely of "malt, milk, eggs, flavored with cocoa," the formulation has changed over the decades, and today several formulations are sold in different parts of the world.

    LOL

    I hate that stuff anyway. I don't like malty tasting things. I'll stick with my coffee and tea. Lucozade(for energy), orange juice, and a beer or two now and again.

    Because it sounds like a laxative, and tastes like one. Nestle FTW!
