I got Sprite. And orange creamsicles. Even now, if I"m sick, Hubs will go out and buy me orange creamsicles. Love him.

Yes, i got 7up! It was so weird. Is this an '80s thing or an Asian thing?

When I was really young my mom gave me ginger ale, as I was older and could request I'd ask for sprite because I don't really like gingerale.
Now when I'm nauseous I drink coke and it settles my stomach right down! Don't really understand why, maybe the bubbles?

Yes! Actually we mixed 7up (or cherry 7up, yum) with orange juice and called it a mimosa fizz. To this day it makes me feel soo much better when I'm sick. I drank a ridiculous amount of the mixture my first trimester!

ginger ale! I still ask my DH to go get it when my stomach is upset, and it also got me through morning sickness..

Yep, always 7-up. And she even brought me some a couple years ago when I had the flu, that and blue Gatorade.

Yep! Sprite and I still want sprite when I don't feel good.
I made DH go get me one right before the epidural was put in, cause it sounded so good since I was feeling like crap, shaking all over.

My parents always gave me a cola! And I swear an occasional can helped settle my stomach when I was pregnant.
cantaloupe / 6692 posts
Yup! Now the taste of both remind me of being sick. Not in a bad way, I can still drink them occasionally, but when I do, it brings back memories of being sick.

cantaloupe / 6171 posts
I never did! I HATED any carbonated drinks until I was in college, I couldn't stand the bubbles, I thought they were "biting my tongue," haha. Now I drink seltzer all the time though!
