Dr. George Wander invented what drink in Switzerland?
Ovaltine (Ovomaltine) is a brand of milk flavoring product made with malt extract (except in the blue packaging in the United States), sugar (except in Switzerland), and whey. Some flavors also have cocoa. Ovaltine, a registered trademark of Associated British Foods, is made by Wander AG, a subsidiary of Twinings which acquired the brand from Novartis in 2003, except in the United States, where Nestlé acquired the rights separately from Novartis later on.

Used to see/hear it advertised on tv when I was younger, but never tried it.

In the immortal words of Ralphie, "Be sure to drink your Ovaltine".

Elsy O. Stromberg, We always drank it as kids, but I haven't had it in many years

Dennis Walker, maybe the formula has been changed over time by new owners?

I remember the ads, but never tried it.

Technically incorrect because Dr. Wander’s formula contained egg which is not an ingredient of Ovaltine!

''We are the Ovalteeney's little girls & boys, Make your request, we'll not refuse you, we are here just to amuse you, would you like a song or story? Will you share our joys, at games and sports we're more than keen, no merrier children could be seen, because we all drink Ovaltine, we're happy girls and boys''. This was the song that introduced a radio program promoting the Ovaltine drink. Once heard, never forgotten.

The picture of a cocktail was misleading.
