Tums shelf neighbor

Rolaids is a brand of antacid tablet used to relieve heartburn and acid indigestion.

The chalky, chewable tablets neutralize stomach acid.

Like Kleenex or Band-Aid, the brand name sometimes stands in for the product category: Hand me a Rolaids.

The old advertising slogan promised "R-O-L-A-I-D-S spells relief."
