FOOD CRAVINGS

Because (believe it or not) man cannot live on books alone.

The latest and greatest:




Ovaltine.

I have drunk milk with Ovaltine every morning since 1984. That's 9,075 mornings in a row.

They recently changed the recipe, though, and now it won't dissolve in cold milk!

What's the deal, Nestle??

(I've sent an official inquiry via their website. We'll see what they have to say for themselves.)


UPDATE: They answered my email! They said something went wrong with the batch I bought, and apologized, and sent me a coupon for a free canister.

Isn't that nice of them? Once again they are my breakfast heroes. Here's to another 9,075 mornings.
