Drinking 7-Up When You're Sick

Twilightning

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.

Tonic water and Coca-Cola too. Both work wonders. Best to have them not too cold and best to let them go a little less fizzy too.

Feel better, OP!:)

I've heard it many times in hospitals that flat 7-up is just as good for you any any other Lucazade type drink out there.

Yes, flat 7-Up and dry toast. I kind of miss it in a funny way...

I can't do it anymore because it reminds me of being sick

Yeah but you're supposed to boil it first to flatten it. Otherwise the gas could make you hurl again :pac:

It has to be boiled to get rid of the fizz. Nothing better for an upset stomach.

I thought it was just my mother made me do that!!!

defizzed 7up ... That's how you knew it was serious... Out came the 7up... and it's been stirred up to get rid of most of the fizz...

Yeah, always what my mam gave me, easier on the stomach I suppose

Get back to studying, waster.

I was always told 7up was good for you when you were sick, thought it was just an Irish thing but then I saw it on South Park (though they mentioned Sprite, same thing!) :pac:

Yup nothing better than a drink full of sugar causing osmotic diarrhoea, to exacerbate an already existing stomach problem. I would use rehydration sachets, but of course mammy knows best.

Sprite is nasty, syrupy crap and don't you forget it.

Blasphemy. I know they're both lemon and lime drinks but they taste completely different. Sprite is mank, just like orange Lucozade. Can't beat the original.

funny that all the times ive been sick, boiled 7up has never done that to me afterwards, also funny that 3 different GPS have in the past recommended me to take it when sick. but of course sesna knows best

salt in some coke or 7up when I was sick when younger. Tastes rancid but supposed to be good for you. I now normally just go about my daily business as best as I can unless it is something serious and I have to pop into the doctor.

Perhaps it is the placebo effect?

and what does a gps have to do with anything?

Nonsense, Orange lucozade is the last word in soft drinks imo.

Far too tasty to give to some sickly wretch layed out on their bed

I still drink it when i'm sick. Even when i have a cold i would chose hot 7up over Lemsip - can't stand that stuff.

You can feel hot 7up rotting your teeth as you drink it. (I can anyway).
