How long until "Drink More Ovaltine" starts showing up in the comments of your Codex code?


Why do they call it Ovaltine? The mug is round, the jar is round. They should call it Roundtine.


The Ov part comes from the eggs in the ingredients. Ovum is Latin for egg and the rest is from the malt extract.


And to tie the third leg of the triangle back, ovals are called that because they're egg-shaped.


It was a joke that required a specific cultural referant in your context window.


That’s gold, Gary. Gold!


This topic contains the most Reddit-like snark I think I've ever read here.


Is it false?
