For generations of Aussie children, your chocolate milk could define you. Milo was standard. Quick was wild and carefree.
And then there was Akta-Vite: the ridgey-didge, 100 per cent Aussie health-food choc-milk. 
Now, more than three decades after it was sold to American frozen-food empire Sara Lee, Akta-Vite is coming back to the family.
The family, in this case, is Nicholas Health and Nutrition, owned by the Nicholas family that built an empire on the back of the first Australian-made aspirin, Aspro.
Sophie Paterson (nee Nicholas) said the family sold Aspro and Akta-Vite in the '80s, but the younger generation of the clan always wished they had kept them.
The idea to buy back the iconic brand had come from her husband.
"We have been in dairy for about 20 years," she said.
"It came about this year that we came into a joint venture on a liquid processing plant.
"We were looking for a reputable brand to put that milk into. My husband said 'wouldn't it be great if we could buy Akta-Vite'."
Alfred and George Nicholas made their name during the First World War, after a war-time declaration decreed patents and trademarks held by German companies would be suspended and made available to any Australian entrepreneurs who could come up with replacement products.
The Nicholas brothers' successful synthesis of aspirin made them a fortune, and allowed them to branch out into vitamin supplements and other sundries.
Akta-Vite was created by the Nicholas company in 1943, as the medical community began to understand the role of nutrition in a healthy lifestyle.
They threw in vitamins, minerals and a healthy heap of cocoa and sugar to make it all palatable.
Ms Paterson said the family plans to "modernise" the iconic supplement drink now that it has come back home.
She said the drink would be made tastier, the print logo brought up to date and the classic '80s-era jingle "Akta-Vites are driving us stir crazy" would likely be re-vamped for a new audience.
The orange tin, though, is here to stay.
"It's just got too much of a history to ever pull away from that orange tin," she said.
