PRODUCT: Blowfish Hangover Tablets

Some of us are old enough to remember the Alka-Seltzer jingle: “Plop plop, fizz fizz, oh what a relief it is!” Everyone else can watch the old T.V. commercial online.

As a wee child we wasted many of our grandparents’ Alka-Seltzer tablets, just because we liked to watch them dissolve into bubbly effervescence. Drink them? Yuck!

Alka-Seltzer has many variations—Cold & Cough, Extra Strength, Flu, Gold, Heartburn, Lemon Lime, Night, Sinus and so forth. But for some reason, there’s no Hangover version.

Now, there’s no need. There’s a new relief aid in town, specifically designed to treat hangovers: Blowfish Hangover Relief. Upon waking from an evening of over-indulging, dissolve two tablets in 10 ounces of water and drink. It tastes like diet lemon Crystal Light.

And it works, according to THE NIBBLE’s favorite party animal, our product tester and head of I.T.

 

Blowfish addresses multiple hangover symptoms at once: headache, upset stomach and fatigue. The effervescent delivery system helps to rehydrate and works fast, because the ingredients are already dissolved. A maximum-strength dose of aspirin treats headache symptoms, caffeine (as much as in a cup of coffee) provides a boost and sodium bicarbonate helps to settle the stomach.

Buy it in a 12-tablet box or a box of 50, both foil-wrapped in the two-tablet prescribed portion.

Party on!

TIP OF THE DAY: Make An Easy Taco Recipe With Leftovers

If you only eat tacos at restaurants, you’re missing out on an easy-to-make lunch or dinner item that can expand far past its Mexican roots. Today, anything rolled in a tortilla becomes a taco—from octopus to leftovers of almost any type.

Dating back thousands of years, corn tortillas were the bread of Mesoamericans. In addition to providing sustenance, tortillas were also torn into pieces and used in the absence of utensils to scoop up other foods. The word “taco” derives from a Spanish word meaning “light snack.”

Each region in Mexico has its own cuisine, which extends to taco fillings. Mexican fillings vary widely from the typical selection at an American Tex-Mex restaurant.

One of the lesser-known joys of tacos is how they turn everyday leftovers into a special meal.

Take a look at our “taco template” and start using your leftovers to create delicious tacos.
