My mom told me that when she was pregnant with me, she ate so many peanut M&Ms she thought I’d be born looking like one.
Here’s an artist’s depiction of what life would have been like had that been true…
What’s in Alka-Seltzer and its ilk that make them go all fizzy in water?
I’m waiting for an Airborne (actually the generic equivalent “AirShield”) to dissolve. There are a lot of sick people around the office and I really don’t want to come down with anything before the trip. Plus, airplanes are germ-o-rama, so these will be good to have for that as well. So far so good.
The directions on the package are funny: “Drop one effervescent tablet in 4 to 6 ounces of water. Let fully dissolve (about 1 minute) and drink. Repeat every 3 hours up to 4 times a day. For children 2-12, adults please dispense one half tablet daily.”
I like how they get all polite about it when it comes to the children. They’re bossy on the adult directions, but when it comes to the kids, they’re all please please please.
