All these years, your grandma told you it would settle your stomach, and it was just a placebo? I’ll bet it had ginger in it, before some accountant figured out they could save 5¢ a bottle by using fake junk in it. I hate Frankensteinian food. twinkies - 39 ingredients, McDonald’s chicken nuggets - 40 ingredients, taco bell regular taco - 51 ingredients.
My mom gave us 7-up for upset tummies. I’m guessing that the carbonation does more to help than the ginger does.
