Ovaltine comes in 3 different flavors. There’s chocolate, chocolate malt, and just plain malt flavored.
My father drank it as a child because it was the official drink of Captain Midnight! When I was a child, it was one of those things that the parents would give you, and you took it thinking it was great because you didn’t know any better. Every so often, I get a little nostalgic and pick up a jar of it but the urge soon passes. It’s no big loss as I can easily pawn it off on my kids. :P
It’s not great by any stretch of the imagination, but it’s probably better for you than some of the other chocolate drink mixes available on the market. The Ovaltine powder mix loaded down with Vitamins A, C, D, and others which is probably another reason why parents are OK with using it as a treat for kids.
Just from those commercials though, I half way expect at the end all the kids to stop, turn, and stare at the camera, send the billions of non-drinkers off into the corn fields.

I’ve never tried Ovaltine. What is it, and what does it taste like?

Based on the commercials, I either expect them to hand out flowers at airports or to join the Manson family.
