Gee, was she perhaps British? That completely explains it!

Thankfully, when I was sick as a kid, Dad's cure all - Ma's too, but I remember him preparing it for some reason, was orange juice and ginger ale, and plain Saltines. And it did make me feel better, every time! Now as an adult, I know it is the ginger than has anti-nausea properties, but that's okay I still like the combination!

It is also a good "mixed drink" to order if you are out with friend, and don't want to have the, "What do you mean you don't drink? Why not?" conversation, and adding a bit of cranberry juice makes it look exotic!

Yup - British she was. Dad was the Italian. And after the battle with hot tea failed miserably time after time - she went with ginger ale and saltines. Much more acceptable to me, tho it was always golden ginger ale. To this day, I'm not overly fond of the golden, tho I really like the pale dry.

It is funny - it used to be a real issue when British troops would give an injured soldier hot tea on the battlefield, as they assumed it would help, but really just lead to peritonitis!

See that???? ! ! !! Even as a kid, I was wise enough to know that the tea really was potentially BAD for me.
