Alka Seltzer Super Fan
I’ve been using Alka-Seltzer for last year now and I gotta say it’s the best invention ever. I’ve actually considered reaching out to Alka-Seltzer to see if I could be employed by them because that’s how much I love their product. It changed my life. It’s literally the best thing ever. It’s where air meets water and it’s delicious. The bubbles and the sound it makes while it dissolves is beyond satisfying and I crave it daily. The only problem is I’m in Canada and I can’t get a lot of products.

Headache relief 🤕
Today I had an awful headache it was like shots in my head. And after 30 minutes of drinking alka seltzer I was so relieved cause before I couldn't do anything even when I was lying it hurt. I love the box and inside individually wrapped 2 tablets. It tastes like sparkling water which I like it doesn't taste like medicine.

Alkaseltzer is an all time fantastic product!
These are amazing! They help with tummy issues along with body aches. Still a great value for your money also. My family also uses other Alkaseltzer products and they've always worked the best in my opinion.

This is a staple over the counter remedies that I have to have in my house. Whenever I have spicy or oily food, I take it. It gives you a little salty taste with a bit of bubbly, like flat soft drink but it helps me a-lot with heartburn so. I like to have it

These aren’t the same as the original product which treated heartburn. I’m returning them. What a shame! I loved the original Alda Seltzer for heartburn.

Why the change
What did you do to A/S? There is no 'fizz'. The taste is flat. It taste like poor fizzy water. You screwed up, guys..

Muy bueno
Good product, with very good results, dissolved in water and goodbye discomfort. I recommend it 100%. It doesn't have a bad taste, the instructions are clear, the packaging is easy to open, and it's an affordable price.

Works
Not really the type of person who likes to take medications, prefer more natural remedies. However, this product does what it says, if I’m ever dealing with a bad headache or back pain this usually helps. Love that come in separate packs that way I can easily carry some with me. They don’t really have a scent or taste to them maybe just a tiny bit bitter but that’s really it. Overall, they are affordable and they seem to get the job done.

Please bring back the original formula!
Please bring back the original formula! We want the one that has the antacid and the aspirin TOGETHER. And not the lemon-lime flavor... it's awful. It was not a good idea to separate the 2 products, because now I will have to take TWO products to accomplish what ONE product used to do. Why would you change the product that made your name great?? I will not buy any more alka seltzer unless the original formula comes back. so disappointed.

New Extra Strength Alka-Seltzer is awful
The new extra strength Alka-Seltzer with the red stripe in the box is difficult to swallow, it is very distasteful. Please go back to the original flavor or please let me know where I can buy the original flavor, if it has not been discontinued.

I love it
I really like Alk Selrzer effervescent tablets. Every time I have indigestion, I just soak 2 tablets and drink them. My indigestion gradually disappears very quickly. My whole family likes this product.

Why did you change it ! ! ! ! !
"Alka-Seltzer Original Flavor" is just Effervescent Aspirin. Why did you discontinue "Alka-Seltzer Original" which was Antacid and Aspirin. Been using for decades and now I can't find it. Someone there really screwed up!

NOT ANTACID
Lost me as a customer original was an antacid these say nothing about being an antacid. Original taste is not the same as oringinal formula. Lost me as a customer for life trying to pull these shady tactics.

Great
Works very well. Upset stomach quite often. Helps with minor aches and pains and the effervescence helps settle the tummy when I've eaten too much, alka seltzer will make i feel better in 5 minutes, even if just a little. I love this stuff. Especially if I have a stomach ache.

The effervescent tablet dissolves quickly, the taste is not the best I've tried, but it works.
convenient packaging, you can take it with you on a trip and carry it in your bag. The effervescent tablet dissolves quickly, the taste is not the best I've tried, but it works. I bought it inexpensively

Not happy with the change
The only reason I am giving a bad star review is because they don’t have the original for stomach relief like why change it for headaches, fever, etc... like if we don’t have enough painkillers out there
