In Popular Culture

When the "In popular culture" section is 3/4 of the article, we have a problem. 109.154.75.4 (talk) 20:15, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Truly, the popularity of the "In Popular Culture" sections of virtually every Wikipedia entry shows the general low intelligence of those who take the trouble to add content. Try removing one entry, and you'll get into a war with some teenage troll. This is what drives away capable contributors. MarkinBoston (talk) 06:30, 15 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps a short paragraph stating that the name Bromo-Seltzer or the short form "bromo" is often used in tv programs and movies would suffice? These are how I know of the product, having never seen it offered for sale. It really seems odd that this product would get so much notice while the similar Alka-Seltzer is rarely mentioned. I had actually thought that it was a made up product for use in the entertainment industry to avoid having to pay Alka-Seltzer for using their brand name. Kind of like the "555" phone numbers. --Khajidha (talk) 11:25, 29 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

History

This article is just a random collection of factoids. What is the history? The product is discussed in the past tense, which suggests it's no longer around; what happened to it? When did it stop being made? Did the company go out of business? Languagehat (talk) 18:06, 27 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It seems to still be made, but it needs information added to the article. RJFJR (talk) 20:56, 5 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I changed the first sentence to present tense and moved the second sentence to History. I hope someone can fill the article out. Languagehat (talk) 19:05, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Bromoseltzer

My grandmother had bromide poisoning due to her use of the product. Her behavior caused her to be placed in a mental institution. 2600:1004:B014:7BCF:A154:484D:DBDB:D24D (talk) 20:11, 27 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

When was it discontinued?

When was this discontinued apparently it had continued to be on the market after the ban of bromine but does anyone know when exactly it was discontinued and is it related to Alka Seltzer in anyway? Qwv (talk) 00:03, 18 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
