turned me off ovaltine for life

More Ovaltine, please!


Serious answer: Quik.
Which at some point later on got rebranded as "Nesquik" I guess.

(Had it in exactly those kinds of containers too...)

this was what I grew up on

 

[DJ_Lae]

They're all kind of shit. I like making my own chocolate syrup using dark cocoa powder and go a bit light on the sugar. You end up with an absolutely glorious chocolate milk in the end.

I have the flu right now, though, so even thinking of the taste of Ovaltine is making me want to puke.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Ovaltine tastes like dust on a piano.

 

[rou021]

Why do they call it Ovaltine?

Truth be told, I haven't had Ovaltine since the 90's. I can't even remember how it tastes. Come to think of it, I haven't had Hershey's in a while either. Nesquik syrup isn't bad though.

 

[Myzer]

Milo

 

[terrisus]

Yup. I refuse to call it NesQuik! And I want the tin containers back.

Glad I'm not the only one.

The "Nesquik" branding of it always seemed so strange to me.

this was what I grew up on

Seeing this comment paired with the username "Lactose Intolerant" is strange to me, since I always had it with milk.
But then, my wife always had it with water, so who knows.

I haven't had nesquik since i was a kid. Kind of miss it.

 

[Persona7]

next time i go to costco it's going to be nesquik time

 

[Bloodrage]

Ovaltine sounds like a anus medicine. At least Nesquik and Hershey's have attractive names.

 

[Shrike Alvaron]

D) None of the above.

The GOAT for chocolate milk:

Course I can't handle dairy milk now but STILL shit's great. Before I found Silk the answer would be Hershey's syrup because powder sucks.

 

[OfWhiteSkinOnRedLeather]

It's egg nog season, so fuck everything in this thread.

It's pointless. Completely, utterly pointless.

I always liked this video regarding Mexican chocolate.

Kind of like when Trix switched to fruit-shaped pieces.

Then, when they switched back to the far-superior ball shape, a bunch of people who had only known them as fruit shapes were surprised, and made me feel old >.>

 

[Baka Sempai]

For as much as I love and have tried most of the chocolate powder posted on this thread (plus the feels on mixing)
Aside from the nesquik double chocolate, nothing has come close to the flavor of this one...

Made me feel superior.

 

[noquarter]

Ovaltine is king. Nestle Quick isn't to bad. Don't like Hershey's Syrup though.

 

[ChrisD]

Oval time followed by Nesquik... and Hershey's way below. Chocolate milk is supposed to be sweet, but not THAT sweet.

 

[D-Pad]

(Had it in exactly those kinds of containers too...)

Aaa! A nostalgia attack from behind! Oh my god I can smell it... Every time you pop open that lid... Mmmmm

 

[_woLf]

Nesquik powder. Pre-made chocolate milk tastes absolutely terrible, but mixing the powder into fresh 2% is sogood.

 

[Coriolanus]

Growing up we always had Nescau, from Nestlé, so probably your Nesquik.

Eventually we were introduced to Toddy, from Pepsico, and it tasted so much better we could never go back to Nescau.

Last year I saw an article comparing the two. Nescau was 90% sugar. Toddy was 98% sugar.

Everything made sense then.

Original cans were baller tho

Ovaltine is the superior choice, btw. Nesquik is horrible.

I'm not actually lactose intolerant in real life. I just took the name because it is one of the dumbest "inflictions"

 

[terrisus]

Indeed. And the lid was always a pain to open, until you remembered, "Oh yeah... The spoon..."

Alright then.

With milk is the best way to have it anyway.
I had no idea what my wife was talking about when she asked if I wanted it with water >.>

 

[A Fish Aficionado]

ColaCao is pretty good too.

The bottled version tastes like freaking Yoohoo, though.

 

[kunonabi]

Nesquik for chocolate milk and hershey's for ice cream. Ovaltine is just crap. They all pale in comparison to the cocoa milk I had in Japan though.

 

[Nilaul]

Nutella metled?

I also find it disgusting how food industry promotes chocolate milk as a good diet food for children. Even worse is the "organic, no HFCS, no GMO" ones. Like that makes the huge sugar content a good thing.

 

[hitsugi]

I like ovaltine both in milk and used in chocolate desserts. I like Hershey's syrup with vanilla ice cream or used to make a chocolate shake, and... Nesquik is fine. Was never too big on it but I also didn't dislike it.

 

[OfWhiteSkinOnRedLeather]

I've done this. It's amazing.

 

[Troubled Bat]

Nesquik!!! Fuck Hershey's Syrup! I haven't tried Ovaltine.

It's better than candy and probably most juice though

Actually I've never encountered Bosco in real life.

 

[RagnarokX]

Nestle Quik. Powder is king. Syrup is meh.

 

[akachan ningen]

Strawberry milk

 

[Arcipello]

and the winner is....

 

[QP3]

I always preferred the Ovaltine over the Hershey Syrup, although growing up we always seemed to have the syrup (for other uses) instead of the Ovaltine powder.

 

[JaseMath]

Tastes like a pudding cup and it's better for you.

 

[Persona7]

When did Quik rebrand to Nesquik?

 

[Sacha]

 

[OfWhiteSkinOnRedLeather]

When did Quik rebrand to Nesquik?

1999. NesQuik is what it was called elsewhere in the world, and for whatever lame reason they changed the real US name to the fake international name.

 

[A Fish Aficionado]

But I want all GMO. Would not buy.

I'm intrigued by this statement, what does this even mean?

 

[TargetDummy81]

Nesquick vote for me also.

Grew up with those tin cans of powdered goodness like other posters in this thread.

 

[TheSeks]

(Had it in exactly those kinds of containers too...)

Oh man, I remember those containers as a toddler.

Yeah, Nesquick for me. Hershey's syrup just isn't the same.

TruMoo is god tier.

Last holiday season they did a limited edition Roasted Marshmallow flavor that was amazing.

When I was a kid, I'd fill the glass halfway with Quik powder, fill the rest with milk, and then stir it near the top enough so only about a third to half of the powder dissolved. I'd drink the chocolate milk, then eat the remaining milk-soaked chocolate powder paste with the spoon. I'd also do this with malted milk, sometimes together.

Hershey's syrup was good for a quick dose, just tilt your head back and squirt a shot right into your mouth like a water bottle.

Nowadays I just boil some water, sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract to make my own chocolate syrup. Can make it as dark and thick as I like that way.

 

[Bill S. Preston. Esq.]

Cola Cao is da best, mayne!

I used to mix peanut butter in with Quik >.>
