A throwback from long ago, the Speedy Alka Seltzer Kid is a character with a human head and an Alka seltzer body, paired with human arms and legs. Bob Watkins of the Wade Agency in Chicago created this character in 1951 – it originally went by the name “Sparky.”
He became Speedy in 1963 and was voiced by young Dick Beals for a yearly $20,000. The character's first appearance wasn't on television, however – women's magazines found him gracing their pages and offering antacid relief with his “effervescent” wand. Speedy's tagline was “plop, plop, fizz, fizz,”, which was written that way so people remember to take the pills two at a time.
