When my dad had a heart issue in 2003, his doctor strictly told him to stay away from Horlicks (whilst saying our regular cup of coffee in the morning was fine. It's a South Indian cup, much much smaller than the American version). But every well-wishing visitor would bring a pack of horlicks, and we had some 25-30 packs lying around in the house.

Still better than one of the nurses who eventually showed up at our house with a bunch of Amway products.
