What's the deal with Ovaltine? I mean, the cup's round, the jar's round, shouldn't it be called Roundtine?

Hi Everybody, this blog is about the so called life of a typical, nerdy, 26 year old guy, who happens to be of a darker skin color living in an increasingly racist and discriminatory US of A.

Isn't that from Seinfeld. Anyway, Ovaltine was originally called ovo-maltine, which is derived from the ingredients egg and malt. So its not about the tin ;)
now here is a stupid question you might wanna answer... if they call orange color 'orange'(fruit).. then why can't they pick some fruits for other colors... :p
That's Gold Nido, Gold!
BTW, don't they already have other colors with fuit names, like "Peach"? :-/
Speaking of Oranges, here is a bit of Orange trivia for you guys, the noun Orange (i.e., the fruit) is dervied from Sanskrit 'Naranga' and after it was assimilated into Italian and French, it became arange, and arancia, and the first known use of "Orange" in English language was in 1620. In case you are wondering what came first, Orange (the fruit) or Orange (the Color)... the noun preceded the adjective, so our winner is the fruit :)
Here's an old one, come up with a word (a real word) that rhymes with Orange...
I can come up with quite a few, but they are in my own language :)
