Alpo Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 It's a common TV/movie scene. They have someone chew some Alka Seltzer, and they start foaming at the mouth, and they tell everyone the "victim" has epilepsy, or rabies, or is having a fit, or something. Now, Alka Seltzer in a glass ain't that tasty, so I've never tried the pill by itself. Anybody? How's it taste? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sedalia Dave Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Tastes much better without water. Go ahead and try it. You can trust me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Hanger #3720LR Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Only once ! Made the mistake of trying to swallow to stop the foaming. Did not turn out well at all. Really glad it was not a complete tablet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 If you're squeamish or a member of PETA, don't read this. So, back when Kid Brother was a kid (50+ now) he was being bugged by a seagull one afternoon while walking home from the market. He was carrying a bag with a few groceries, including a bottle of Alka Seltzer, eating on a Hostess turnover, being stalked by the bird who evidently tried repeatedly to bomb the kid. On a whim, the kid took the last corner of his turnover, stuffed an Alka Seltzer in it, and tossed it aloft. Sure 'nuff, Mister Gull swooped and captured the morsel mid-air, and gulped it down. Well.... heed the kid's discovery: Apparently, seagulls can neither burp nor "break wind." The outcome was, according to the Kid, quite disturbing for both bird and witnesses.

Bama Red Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Yup! I've done it, but then I've done I lot of things I ought not have done. Don't remember anything particularly bad about the taste, but it certainly did produce a "rabid dog" foaming at the mouth. A buddy and I did this while walking down Bourbon Street one night. Yeah. Don't know how we didn't get arrested that night. The NOPD is not known for a sense of humor about such things. Anyway, it being New Orleans on a Saturday night, we hardly even drew any stares!

Utah Bob #35998 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I can't understand why anybody would put an Alka Seltzer in their mouth. Or liverwurst. Or Schlitz beer. Crazy world. Apparently it will not actually blow up birds. http://factually.gizmodo.com/seagulls-will-not-blow-up-if-they-eat-alka-seltzer-1612065486 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted May 14, 2015 Author Share Posted May 14, 2015 Leiberwurst is very good, although it makes me burp, so I don't eat it as much as I'd like. Schlitz goes very good in the drip pan of a wet smoker. Two cans of Schlitz and eight ounces of water, and the fat drips in and adds to the flavor.
