Boredom/Ovaltine: A very serious essay
There are several different opinions on boredom.
If you ask a baby what their opinion is on boredom, they will likely stare at you.
If you ask a child their opinion on boredom, they will likely tell you that BEING BORED IS THE WORST AND I WANT TO DO SOMETHING FUN.
If you ask an intellectual their opinion on boredom, they will likely tell you that Boredom Is The Mother Of Invention And Without It The World Would blah blah blah.
If you ask me what my opinion on boredom is, I will tell you that boredom is great because it means you don’t have any work to do and can instead spend an afternoon writing about OVALTINE.
Because Ovaltine is awesome.
When I was six, I saw a can of Ovaltine for the first time. At first I didn’t care that much, but I was WRONG.
It’s like chocolate milk- except you get to MAKE IT.
It’s like hot chocolate- except it’s COLD.
It’s like instant Gatorade- except it’s CHOCOLATE. Best. Thing. Ever.
And then- there's the logo. Oh my gandalf.
Google the ovaltine logo. The entire thing- IS AN OVAL.
*gasp*
And look at the thing under the word "ovaltine". IT'S THE TINE OF A FORK.
*gasp*
Oval-tine!

*The above word is pronounced (GAHG-bobe-fod-ehv-penCIL-VEE-ip).
The best part is stirring the brown dust into milk so it becomes suspended in the liquid. Oh, wait, that’s the only part. Besides drinking it.

Okay so my brother just came back from a mission trip Papua New Guinea and he got to take a few days in Sydney Australia before returning home and one of his souvenirs is something called MILO.
It. Is. So good.
And it sounds very like Ovaltine, down to the rich cold crunchy chocolatey taste, and I was wondering has anyone tried both? Could you give your opinion on the difference? This is a call to all fellow cold-chocolate lovers. Thank you.

I had no idea so many shared my opinion- We should make a cold chocolate fan club!

Gah. Tried subsituting hot choclate mix for ovaltine. Worst. Mistake. Ever. The powder never disolved.

Maybe it would work if you made it hot and then put it in the fridge...?

This. Is. Amazing.
Alizarine, you should really write children's books. Like, middleschooler-aimed ones with amazing comedy. I read this to my mom and she said she loved Ovaltine and she told me to put it on the shopping list, so now there is a can of Ovaltine in the kitchen. I can't wait to try it!
