Dateline - Liechtenstein - Baron von Falz-Fein, the prominent sponsor of that country's Olympic Team, just celebrated his 105th birthday. He attributes his longevity to "the succor of honey and Ovaltine." Ovaltine! Who knew - they were the sponsor for the radio broadcasts of "Little Orphan Annie" in the 1930s - and it having its own longevity. Those Russians in the Steppes rave about their yogurt and the Japanese pride their fish diet, but there is something in that Alpine air to combine with Ovaltine that creates that magic that the Baron touts.

They still make Ovaltine? How much of it does the Baron still have stockpiled in the wine cellar?
