Make Better Cheese Sauce with Alka-Seltzer?

Ok, this I found hilarious. Serious Eats, one of my favorite websites for recipes and learning how to actually cook, posted a recipe for cheese sauce using Alka-Seltzer. Given the large aspirin warning at the top of the recipe, and the potential for real harm if you ignore that warning, I think I'll stick with using sodium citrate, but if you're in a pinch and need some nachos, this is quite the trick.

The Genius Ingredient for Perfect Gooey Cheese Sauce

Alka-Seltzer contains two key ingredients—baking soda and citric acid—that react to form sodium citrate, the emulsifying salt that is the secret to all processed cheese sauces. This recipe leverages that salt to give you the smoothest, creamiest cheese sauce in under 5 minutes.
