ALKA-SELTZER: WHOLE THING {BARNEY MELSKY
COMMERCIAL REEL}

Summary

In this classic commercial for Alka-Seltzer, a man is shown sitting on the edge of his bed. "I can't believe I ate the whole thing," he moans. His wife beside him wakes up just long enough to suggest that he take two Alka-Seltzer before she falls back to sleep. In a voice-over, the announcer explains that nothing is more effective for an upset stomach and headache than Alka-Seltzer.
