Dr. Seltzer's Packaging
When the sun set on Halloween I had no idea that by morning I would become Dr. Seltzer. That night, filled with 'Spirits of the Liquid and Labeless' variety (moonshine) ... I offered to my fellow 'Sport Drinkers' .. "If someone could make us feel better in the morning they'd be zillionaires."
He hired an artist to draw up his likeness and a local pharmacist to concoct a product. The hand-crafted wooded displays with finely appointed Gold Foil attract the consumers attention and the package closed the sale. The formula brought them back.
The name was derived as a combination of “Alka-Seltzer” and “Hamburger Helper.” The product was an instant hit, and during 80s and 90s, Dr. Seltzer’s Hangover Helper® could be found worldwide, including all the T.G.I. Friday’s and thousands of convenience stores in the U.S.
The Doc offered a solution for the 2 fisted drinkers. Get a Grip.
RE-ENTRY GLASSES offered eye protection while reentering the earth's atmosphere. Great for walking out of bars in the bright sunlight. Bikers loved them because they blocked the wind.
At one time the Doc had a product to address all the needs of the drinking community. The embroiderd hats, T-Shirts and the 5 O'Clock watch were a big hit in Myrtle Beach (1986).
The medicine chests were sold by Spencers Gifts.
In 1991 we sold one million Dr. Seltzer's to the Russian government and they wanted to pay us with vodka and chandeliers. There was a book written about Doc's plight:
Moscow Madness
Doc toured the east coast in a Limousine, a custom 1931 Medicine Wagon and a tour bus.
In 2010 the FDA banned tobacco vending machines. Doc's tin fits in a pack of cigarettes. There are millions of cigarette vending machines sitting in warehouses globally that can be repurposed.
The Pocket Tins are sold empty. Great for Head Shops to package whatever they would like.
