Is Sprite the best medicine?
December 12th, 2008
Every time I get the slightest bit sick my mom tells me to hunker down and drink lots of Sprite and I’ll feel better. I’ve always thought this was a little weird, but oddly enough it seems to work sometimes. Is this just a placebo effect? I asked this question on Twitter and got lots of really great responses. Check them out!
Do your parents think that Sprite has medicinal qualities?

- @frankramblings said, “It’s like the Windex in “My Big Fat Greek Wedding”
- @marcvibbert said, “If you mix sprite with root beer it makes a poor man’s ginger ale… So maybe that has something to do with it?”
- @_NoDayButToday_ said, “Supposedly the carbonation settles your stomach according to my Mom, but I don’t buy that soda can be in any way healing.”
- @punkylady said, “I think it has healing powers, there’s always sprite in the fridge.”
- @ctr823 said, ” My parents say ginger ale.”
- @lovelyboredom said, “Ginger ale usually. Flat.”
- @LittleGreyGirl said, “Orange juice and ginger ale.”
- @seandps said, “I have heard that too, and I always have Sprite / 7up if my stomach is a little off, guess all the burping makes me better.
This just in: Twitter is awesome.
