Ovaltine has been a household name in the world of malted drinks for over a century. The brand traces its origins back to Switzerland in 1904 when it was created by the pharmacologist Dr. Georg Wander. Initially developed as a nutritional supplement for children, Ovaltine's popularity spread globally as a healthy energy-boosting drink. In 1960, Ovaltine became part of the British conglomerate Associated British Foods (ABF), which continues to produce and distribute it today through its subsidiary Wander AG in Switzerland. Over the years, Ovaltine has gained a reputation for providing a nutritious and tasty drink, with its signature malted flavor making it a popular choice for families worldwide. In the Philippines, Ovaltine has been marketed as an energy-boosting chocolate malt drink, competing with other well-known brands like Milo.

The 1995 Ovaltinees TVC jingle, titled "You Just Can't Get Enough," became a memorable part of the brand's marketing in the Philippines. The catchy jingle was based on the 1981 song "Just Can't Get Enough" by the British band Depeche Mode. The commercial featured a fun and energetic song that highlighted Ovaltine’s appeal as a delicious, crunchy treat. The lyrics, "Grabbin' Ovaltinees, the greatest bunch to munch, You just can't get enough," captured the essence of the product's irresistible flavor and snackable appeal. Ovaltinees, a playful variation of the Ovaltine brand, was presented as a fun snack for both kids and adults, making it a hit in Filipino households. The upbeat, repetitive nature of the jingle made it easy to remember and contributed to its success, ensuring that Ovaltine remained a popular choice for generations of consumers. The ad and its jingle are still fondly remembered by fans of the brand.

Lyrics:

Grabbin' Ovaltinees
the greatest bunch to munch
You just can't get enough,
You just can't get enough,
Pack some Ovaltinees,
they're yummy bits to crunch
And you just can't get enough,
You gotta love this stuff!
They taste so great,
You'll be falling in love
And you just can't see
to get enough
O-O-Ovaltinees!
O-O-Ovaltinees!
You just can't get enough,
You just can't get enough,
