When I was a small child and caught the latest virus that was going around the school yard, my Mother would crush some ice and poor some wonderfully refreshing Coca-Cola over the ice and give to me to sip on to settle my stomach.
When I was a child, that was about the only time I was allowed a carbonated beverage of any type, so when I hit adult hood I started doing taste tests of my own to decide which carbonated beverage I preferred.
Guess which one won.
Yep, you got it! Coca-cola won hands down!! There is just nothing as wonderful as a nice cold coca-cola to help top off a nice dinner or to simply have and sip on while you relax after a hard day.
While I still watch my consumption of any carbonated drink, it is a Coke I reach for when I reach.
