Never had the stuff personally. I've had a bad image of Ovaltine ever since seeing the movie "Christmas Story" - where Ralphie gets his Little Orphan Annie decoder ring, and the secret message is, "Drink more Ovaltine" or some such.

I haven't had Ovaltine since I was 8 years old and my great-grandmother made it for me. I don't remember what it tastes like, though I do remember that it had a "medicinal" kinda quality to it. Like something I thought was an aquired taste; an "adult's" version of chocolate milk.
