Description
The commercials said it was Nestle Quik with more vitamins and minerals. I say it was dirt in a jar.

Dirt in a jar? I think I might have to agree! The syrup was better than the powder but still doesn't compare to other brands. Give me the sugar and calories, cut out all the stuff good for me and let me have CHOCOLATE!
i agree. and they still make this crap. No match for real chocolate powder
My aunt always made me drink this junk when I visited her. She was convinced that kids should love it. She's a cold, heartless woman...
I drank some this morning...only with vanilla soy milk....YUM!!!
LOL at Trogg!! But seriously even though it's more healthy (not that there's anything wrong with that as long as it tastes good) it actually was one of my favorite drinks when I was a kid. It tasted like chocolate milk when mixed right so no complaints came from me. I've even bought it as an adult.
I used to drink this all the time, and even put it on vanilla ice cream. My friend and I would laugh so hard that it would come out of our nose! Yeehaw!
Was really grainy but i loved it. I liked to eat it straight. We used to keep the glass jar for other uses in the kitchen.
that stuff is nasty
MY GRANDMA ALWAYS HAD OVALTINE... I just bought myself a tin of it. good times
This isn't an 80s drink. This stuff goes WAY back. Think WWII.
