        When it was a new new thing, there was a contest to come up with an original name. The finalists were egg cream and walrus doots. Egg cream won and walrus doots is still up for grabs.

        the name is an Americanization of echt keem, Yiddish for “pure sweetness,”

        After you milk the eggs, you skim the cream off the top. At least that's what I remember from watching Green Acres.

        Because fructose, whey, 2% cocoa, non fat dry milk, calcium phosphate, dipotassium phosphate just didn't flow off the tongue?

        The total list of ingredients is enough to make me get a flu shot. On second thought I'll pass on both. Too many common elements.

        Because of the consistency of the froth on the top when it's made.
