Eggnog is a beverage made of whipped eggs, milk or cream, sugar, and spices that can be mixed with alcohol such as rum for a festive cocktail. Its consumption is deeply intertwined with the holiday season from Thanksgiving through New Year's. But in the 1960s, a dairy company called Krim Ko sought to change that. Krim Ko tried to convince consumers that its Instant PQD Egg Nog drink mix could transform egg nog from a seasonal beverage to an everyday, year-round drink.
