Ovaltine Biscuits - (OVA-050) Do You Know?


1965
(OVA-050) Do You Know?
Ovaltine Biscuits
25 cards (1 football)

The same set of 25 cards was issued by various companies between 1962 and 1967. Other issuers include Ching's (a Channel Islands tobacco company), Cromwell Stores, B.T. Tea, an Anonymous issue and Tonibell (Did You Know?). Unfortunately I have been able to locate a photo of the back of the football card so I've included the back of one of the other cards as an example.

1.  Why a horse-shoe is used for luck
2.  Where women grow Giraffe-necks
3.  A mushroom from a toadstool
4.  How the flying-fish flies
5.  A butterfly from a moth
6.  Why a billiard cue is bevelled
7.  How snow crystals are formed
8.  How fast an ostrich travels
9.  The most perfect building in the world
10.  Why flowers are scented
11.  How coral is formed
12.  Why iron sinks
13.  What a Juggernaut is
14.  Why flags are flown at half-mast
15.  The construction of a pyramid
16.  A duck from a drake
17.  How a bee makes honey
18.  Why Toby Jugs are so named
19.  What causes lightning
