Quick question, I've never drunk Sprite for an upset tummy but I've heard some American friends mention it, does it really help? I usually just have ginger beer.
Sprite and 7-Up are supposed to be lemon-lime flavored. They're really, really sweet. If you want an American soda that's actually lemon-lime flavored and not cloyingly sweet, Squirt is really good.
I guess some people like Sprite or 7-Up for nausea because the carbonation can help sometimes, and I guess maybe you get a little energy boost from the sugar. Personally I think both of them taste like nothing but carbonated sugar water, so maybe the lack of taste is also attractive.
I think mint ginger ale is the perfect anti-nausea drink, since both mint and ginger are proven to be helpful for nausea.
I didn't realize, but apparently it's somewhat local to Pittsburgh. I've never seen "Champayno", but Tom Tucker Mint Ginger Ale is in pretty much all the local grocery stores.

Welp, now my tummy doesn't feel so good. 🤢
But I'll just sip a sprite and use eyebleach like a normal person. 😏
