Why do they call it ovaltine?

Did you know the Jewish version is Oy vey tine?

Because it was first made in Asia.

Well,Gritty Malty Drekk just never caught on,name wise.

Made from OVum (egg) and mALT.

It's made from ground ovals

Mr. Oval would be disappointed with you asking this question. It's his tine invention after all.

You can find that out by googling Ovaltine and reading about it. Why ask here?

The ova means "egg." Originally, it was made with powdered egg whites and was meant to be a complete breakfast.

It's a shortening from ovOMaltine.

Seinfeld - Banya (I think that's how it's spelled.) was a comedian that Jerry hated and that was one of his routines. It's sad what ends up sticking in my memory...
