...how can ANYONE drink this stuff?
I mean for real, if I had to list the most disgusting tasting things ever, it be WAY up there. I cant drink it at all. And I dont mean "oh I hate the way it tastes but slowly I get through it" or whatever. I mean I cant drink it at all. Anything more the most tiny sip makes me gag. I dont see how anyone can be drinking a whole cup of that stuff...

If I need some I just gulp it down and have a glass of water ready to drink down after it.

Did you know they have a lemon flavored one? And it tastes like lemon flavored effervescent garbage. The stuff works like a charm, though, I will say that.

This is one of the only medicines that has made me feel like I'm going to puke based off of taste and consistency, the other being Pepto.
The difference being here is that Pepto will actually make me vomit from the feeling of it.

It sucks but you make it worse by dragging it out. If you've interior issues that could be quelled by an alkaseltzer, man up and swallow. It tastes like death but is preferrable to the alternative imo. Alka tastes bad for what,a few minutes? A sour stomach hangs with you.

I have never tried it. I guess the Australian equivalent is Eno: Which tastes fowl too. My tip: Take it in one big gulp and once you have done that have a glass of milk. It helps get rid of the taste.

I've never tasted Alka-Seltzer, but I always liked the jingle for it in 90s commercials:
Ev'rybody hates to eat and run, you'd rather take it slow But the way this life is goin', gotta grab your food and go And when all that runnin' round catches up with you at last Get yourself some Alka-Seltzer and you'll feel better fast

Alka-Seltzer saved my life many a wing night at the restaurant, lemme tell ya.

I've heard that if you feed Alka-Seltzer tablets to seagulls, they'll explode.
Is that just a myth, or does it really work?

My uncle told me that after a visit to florida-he didn't try it, but he was told that too. BTW do people actually drink that in the commercials? Seems to me they sniffed it but never showed them drinking it

I mix Alka-Seltzer type stuff in a shot glass, that way, it can be knocked by without having to taste it.

They may taste chalky but I just can't deal with that bubbling water. No friggin' way, man.

I'm obviously alone here but I love Alka Seltzer. I drink it for fun. I find it refreshing like an energy drink. If you havn't tried the orange zest formula I highly recomend those.

You've just got to shotgun it quickly and then have a coke or something on standby. Only way to do it.

You are not alone there. Sometimes I drink it for fun(but not too much though. It's probably bad for you if you do.) I don't really mind the taste that much. What I DO hate however is the taste of cough medicine. Now THAT is gag worthy.

Hold your nose, and turn the cup and down it, preferably while it's still fizzing. If you let the medicine settle to the bottom, it just makes it that much harder to drink.
