Target's Extra Strength Antacid

Generic antacids arent really much different between themselves. They generally taste lousy, dont work real well, and leave you with a nasty aftertaste. Targets store brand does manage to improve slightly on this formula in the taste department, but its effectiveness leaves a lot to be desired.

So, the taste- this may be the first and only time anyone ever says this, but for an antacid, they actually taste pretty good. The mint ones taste like dinner mints and the assorted berries taste a bit like SweeTarts. That isnt a bad thing, necessarily, but kids might end up begging for extras whether their stomachs hurt or not. They just dont taste like medicine. People would probably eat these before a meal if they were offered as a snack. Oh well, at least theyre chalk full of calcium.

Unfortunately, no matter how many you covertly pop, they arent going to do much good. Ive taken up to five and had no reduction in my stomach pains whatsoever. If you have a powerful problem with acid, dont bother with this stuff. I might work for a minor tummyache, but it sure didnt work for me.

Target: nice job on the flavor. But next time you make an antacid, it would be nice if it actually worked.
