Alka-Seltzer added to spherical water drop in microgravity

What do you get when you add Alka-Seltzer to a spherical water drop in microgravity?

Expedition Six NASA ISS Science Officer Don Pettit performs a series of microgravity experiments with water spheres and effervescent antacid tablets. In the second of four videos, Pettit inserts a tablet into a 50-millimeter sphere and observes the fizzy results. [YouTube]

As a bonus, here's another video: Opening a can of honey in microgravity.
