Drinking 7-Up When You're Sick

Twilightning · 2010-06-05 13:06:40

I was just wondering whether or not anyone else does this. I remember being sick when I was younger and my mam saying the first thing she'd get me around in the shop was a 2 litre bottle of 7-Up. Is this purely an Irish thing? Been feeling like crap the past few days and I've had a bottle of it next to the bed.

Vitamin C rich, freshly squeezed orange juice I'd say would just be a touch better that 7-fcuking-up.

No matter who boiled it, held your hand and made you egg and soldiers.

7 up is recommended for diabetics when they are sick and not eating. It helps stop the blood sugars from dropping. Also for children or adults with vomiting and/or diarrohea. The diet version is no good for these purposes though. YES, it is widely used when you're sick.
