- The tale of a TikToker’s first experience with Alka-Seltzer at 22 has taken the internet by storm.
- This genuine video generated laughter from viewers, especially her description of the drink as having “golf course vibes.”
- Many older viewers found themselves reflecting on their own childhoods after watching the video.
The internet has been captivated by a heartwarming video of a young woman trying Alka-Seltzer for the very first time, encouraged by her mother.
In the viral clip posted on September 23 and viewed over 7.2 million times, 22-year-old Brooke Jenkins delicately dropped an Alka-Seltzer tablet into a cup of water, watching as it fizzed and bubbled.
“Woah,” she exclaimed, looking up at her off-screen mother. “I feel like I’m dying Easter eggs.”
Her mom urged her to quickly do another one, to which Jenkins complied by dropping a second tablet in. After taking a sip, she expressed her enjoyment, albeit with a peculiar comment about it giving her “golf course vibes.”
“I don’t know what that means,” her mom replied.
However, the comment section of this viral TikTok reveals that many viewers immediately understood the reference. (Alka-Seltzer is often associated with and prescribed to older people for heartburn relief and stomachaches.)
“‘I feel like I’m drinking golf course’ made me laugh till I had a headache,” one comment humorously exclaimed.
Commenters couldn’t get enough of the amusing details in the video, such as the swift second tablet drop and the fantastic chemistry between Jenkins and her mom. It surprised them to learn that this was her first encounter with the remedy.
“The sound of the tablet hitting the glass instantly reminded me of the beginning of ‘Runaway’ by Kanye lmao,” one person playfully pointed out.
Older viewers were left feeling nostalgic by this 50-second clip. One individual disclosed that drinking Alka-Seltzer as a child was “worse than actually being sick.” On the contrary, another user fondly reminisced about loving it during their childhood, considering it the “ultimate experience.”
“My mom passed this wisdom down to me as well,” one viewer added.
Jenkins’ analogy inspired others to share their abstract metaphors. One viewer expressed that the orange-colored Alka-Seltzer, intended for hangover relief, made them feel like there’s “a car wash inside of” them.
Jenkins revealed that the video came about because she was “severely hungover” and went downstairs to find some Advil. “My mom suggested trying an Alka-Seltzer instead because it had helped her in the past,” she explained.
She enjoyed the taste and, upon learning from commenters that there are various flavors and types of Alka-Seltzers, she’s excited to try others. Since she’s been feeling unwell, she may opt for the cold and flu variant of Alka-Seltzer.
Jenkins had no clue that her video would go viral or resonate with so many people, but both she and her mom are grateful for the enthusiastic response from the audience.
“I found the whole thing hilarious, and I still didn’t fully understand the golf course comment,” Jenkins’ mom shared with Insider. “It’s representative of our typical conversations as well.”
