I have no idea if that’s how it was spelled. It was an old commercial for Ovaltine in which beefy Norwegians or Swedes were depicted in what the commercial called their “national sport”, tossing this big boulder. Whoever tossed it the farthest was the winner. The implication was that drinking Ovaltine made them strong. The commercial was on all the time and my 10-year-old friends and I decided to give boulder-tossing a try. I ended up with a goose egg on my forehead that stuck out half a foot after one of the flying rocks hit me in the head.
