4. (Chorus of annoyingly cute-sounding children)
MORE OVALTINE PLEASE!

As well as the typical shuck-and-jive banter of two moms talking about how packed with virtamins and minerals etc...

Extremely annoying, plus they've probably been AirAmerica's most consistent advertisers. I'm glads they are spending money on AirAmerica, but I am tired of hearing...MORE OVALTINE PLEASE!

6. Those ads are just nauseating.
They're so fakey and obnoxious. I used to like Ovaltine when I was a kid, but now I'm hating it, retroactively.

But the ad that really makes me climb the walls is the one for some product having to do with teeth. It starts out with the sound of somebody grinding their teeth, but I don't know what the product is because the sound is so horrendous that I change the station immediately. Kind of a counterproductive ad that is so annoying that people turn it off before they even know what the ad is for.

FUCK OVALTINE.

I hated it when I was a kid, and I hate it now

8. Hey, Einstein
I turn the sound down (TV too) during commercials.

Give it a shot.
