Why do they call it Ovaltine? The container is round, the cup is round. They should call it Roundtine.

It's a mistake.

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

Ovomaltine was exported to Britain in 1909. A misspelling of the name on the trademark registration application led to the name being shortened to Ovaltine in English-speaking markets.

That's what I was smoking too. I was up to two packs a day when I quit in 1982. Single packs were .60-.65 and cartons were $5

Jeff

haven't smoked cigs since. I do have an occasional cigar but it's been years since I had one.

Can't tell from the pic but have a little over 1/3 of the bottle left. Jade East bottle is long gone.
