Pepsi - the choice of a nauseous generation!

We’ve had sick kids lately.  Here’s a GREAT tip: If you feel like you’re going to puke, drink flat Pepsi.  Seriously.  It’s miraculous.  Just pour it back and forth between a couple of glasses until it stops fizzing, and then drink it.  You’ll feel better in seconds.

I mentioned this to a guy at work today, who had never heard of this wonderful use for Pepsi, so I thought I’d share the info.

    I would guess this would probably be along the lines of the pepsi basically being a “base” and functioning similar to an antacid…

    Maybe…

    Interesting discovery.

    I would suggest trying combining Diet Coke and Mentos next.

    (Google that before you try putting it in the kids!)

    Mentos + Diet Coke + Children = catastrophic mess.

    I saw the video. The kids made us watch it several times. I think they might enjoy the experiment themselves (internally of course).

    Of course you can also use coke or pepsi to help clean a corrded battery terminal!

    Hmmmm I’m a diet coke addict and now I am jonesing for a Diet Coke!
