Do you remember the old commercials for Alka Seltzer? They went something like this "Plop, plop, fizz, fizz, oh what a relief it is. The Alka Seltzer boy sang it as her dropped the tablets into a glass of water. Then there was a man sitting holding his stomach saying, "I can't believe I ate the whole thing." I used to love the old commercials and kind of wish they would bring them back. They are now showing the Alka Seltzer fruit chews. They do taste good and they working surprisingly well but I miss the old commercials. How many of you remember these commercials?

always thought the fizzing noise was cruel to those with the hangovers taking them to cure it

@arthurchappell it turns out that it is a handy piece of information if your dog has a flea or two.

I remember that one. I hate commercials, but if they make me laugh then I don't mind them so much.

@fishtiger58 the one that said "I can't believe I ate the whole thing" used to make me laugh every time.

@amadeo it's funny how these little jingles can lodge themselves in your mind.
