Does anyone else drink it? Last 3 nights I've replaced my bed time cuppa with a mug of ovaltine and I must admit.. Its delicious.

Can you still buy it? We always had Ovaltine as a bedtime drink as kids.

nancybotwinbloom · 08/11/2020 21:45

I love it.
I'm going to buy some next time I go shopping.

And horlicks

Elvesinquarantine · 08/11/2020 21:46

When I was a dc I ate it from the tin. All big granules back then that melted in your mouth. ... Now it's powder and not a treat at all!!

LubaLuca · 08/11/2020 21:47

I love Ovaltine and Horlicks.

MaudTheInvincible · 08/11/2020 21:48

I bought a tub of it last year thinking it was horlicks. The children are now addicted and I still haven't got the horlicks.

FippertyGibbett · 08/11/2020 21:50

I’m going to get some Horlicks now !

Sheknowsaboutme · 08/11/2020 21:51

Love ovaltine but horlicks is just like biscuits in the bottom of your tea🤢

GingerAndTheBiscuits · 08/11/2020 21:52

Ovaltine/Horlicks virgin here - what does it taste like?!

JaJaDingDong · 08/11/2020 21:55

Ovaltine tastes like malteasers

Sparklingbrook · 08/11/2020 21:57

Both Ovaltine and Horlicks give me brilliant dreams.

nancybotwinbloom · 08/11/2020 21:57

I think ovaltine tastes like Maltesers

Horlicks is like a milky drink but a bit wheaty and sweet. Like oaty.

It's lovely

SenorFrog · 08/11/2020 21:58

Horlicks is the bomb!

TheoriginalLEM · 08/11/2020 21:58

Ughhh no my mum used to make me drink this - vile stuff Envy

Boringnamechanging · 08/11/2020 21:59

Drinking it now

CherryPavlova · 08/11/2020 22:00

I’m surprised you can still buy them. Almost tempted. Singing the song......We are the Ovalteneys.......

nancybotwinbloom · 08/11/2020 22:01

@Elvesinquarantine

I sometimes eat ready brek from the packet

LaChatte · 08/11/2020 22:02

You can buy ovaltine chocolate bars here in France (it's called Ovomaltine here). They are yummy, you get the effect on the roof of your mouth when you eat them.

WitchesBritchesPumpkinPants · 08/11/2020 22:02

Love both, but can't have either these days

(Diabetic & far too Carby!)

Having hot water & trying to convince myself it's just as goid!

Sparklingbrook · 08/11/2020 22:03

I get the individual sachets from Waitrose but they have the full jars too.

namechangedyetagain · 08/11/2020 22:08

I remember my Mum having Bournevita? when i was small. Is that a similar thing?

nancybotwinbloom · 08/11/2020 22:13

Is Bournveita a dark chocolate drink?

missyB1 · 08/11/2020 22:13

I remember Bournevita it was nicer than Ovaltine. I used to love these sort of malted drinks but I find them a bit sickly now.

Thighdentitycrisis · 08/11/2020 22:19

Was Bournevita was a kind of chocolatey ovaltine?

If you add Ovaltine to ice cream you get a malted milkshake

Flowerblue · 08/11/2020 22:19

You used to be able to buy ovaltine chocolate. You can still buy it in Germany. It’s very lovely.

Pebbledashery · 08/11/2020 22:19

I'm partial to a horlicks as well actually. Love the malt flavour.
