lemon-lime is a thirst quencher, and sooths stomach pain

Because it's a clear liquid.

When you projectile vomit pop rouge you don't want the docs to think you have ebola and are bleeding out, do you?

I always thought it was ginger-ale you are supposed to drink. Something about ginger makes nausea go away.

It's what I remember as a little kid.My Mother brought me 7up and soda crackers.

And I like the taste of orange juice and cheese toast together for some reason.

Notice the first step in flu treatment? Drink clear fluids..... People like soft drinks... Coke and dr. pepper are dark... Anytime u are sick the first thing a doctor will say is drink plenty of clear fluids....



BTW: my dad is a doctor.
