Ovaltine in original crystal form

[Forty Rod SASS 3935]

I can't find it on the net.  Do any of you know if it's available anywhere?

 

I just had a "memory moment" and have a yearning.

Current Ovaltine is sort of crystalized. It is not powder like Quik. It comes in chocolate and malt. It is in most grocery stores. 

 

Been drinking Ovaltine a long time.

Yeah, so have I., but it's just not  what I remember from my childhood days when we had to boil water and milk over a dinosaur turd fire.  It tastes different.

I've tried every variety of Ovaltine that I can find and like I said about, it isn't the same.

Can’t hear, ‘Ovaltine,’ without this coming to mind . . .

Repeat after me "cost savings, cost savings, cost savings".  There is no processed food item made today that has the same formula as just 7-8 years ago.

it's the dinosaur turds that made the difference

I remember it being granular, almost like instant coffee, but not crystals.

 

I sort of like the flavor, but I recall it taking about three times as much to make a glass of chocolate milk as it did with Nestle Quick.

As I'm about the only dinosaur left I can't generate enough to make a fire.

At 76 I grew with all of the Ovaltine adds but we never had the stuff and to this day I've never tasted it. Any good?
