Alka Seltzer

When was the last time you took Alka Seltzer? I'm not talking about the cold and flu medicine, but the good old tried and true Alka Seltzer that's been around since 1931.

Yesterday I ate some nachos. With jalapenos. Lots of jalapenos. Used to be - this was not a problem with me. But today I've had a sour stomach and indigestation. 

Plop plop, fizz fizz. Oh what a relief it is.

Taking two Alka Seltzer immediately solved my problem. 

Sometimes (oftentimes) the old remedies work best.

Enjoy these old commercials you grew up with. The best commerical ever.

Dear Moderators. Please don't misinterpret this post as a shilling ad for this product. This is just informative chat.

I have them in my Mimosas

Last night. Love them.

A half teaspoon of baking soda mixed in a small glass of water works as well.

I used to take it when I was younger and eating fast food and other junk way too much. It never did much good, in my opinion. It made me feel a little better when I had a hangover though. Thankfully, those days are long gone.

Best commercial ever?

I would have gone with “Mama mia! Atsa spicy meatbowl!”

[TangoLimaSierra]

I always have them on hand. Usually take it about once a week.

Anyone remember Fizzies? I loved those.

Stick with “Aldo Chella” your most honorable Nullness. Save the Void for another day...

In survival school I learned that a couple of teaspoons ashes from a campfire mixed with water does the same thing.

In my early 20s I was a card, a drunk and a good employee. I convinced my employer to stock the infirmary with Brioschi for my hangovers.

The company bought me an clock radio, too, lol!!

Alka seltzer came in a neat glass bottle.

I always liked Nike’s “Bo knows baseball” ad with Bo Jackson & Bo Diddley.

It's worked for millennia. It was my great grandpappy's and Grandpappy's go-to for acid indigestion and my Dad's and mine for years. Baking soda is a must have item in one's prepping inventory.

[MayflowerMadam]

Fizzies. Flavor Straws, too.

Funny the 2nd time around.

I did that with a tablespoon of baking soda once. The loudest, longest, most violent and intense burp of my life ensued.

Scared the hell out of me.

I have never had to take Alka Seltzer or anything similar. My mom always told me that I had/have a cast-iron stomach. It may be true! ;-)
