I do not drink pop very often.
Basically the only time I drink pop is when paired with an alcoholic beverage or when I am particularly nauseated.
When I do become that ill, I always ALWAYS go for Fanta if it is available.
I don't know if it is just the carbonation, the orange flavour, or that I simply really love Fanta, but it always cuts the nausea at least a little bit, if not entirely.
I have never really been a fan of ginger ale and other standard soft drinks just feel icky.
On top of it all, we don't usually keep pop in the house. Other than the abundance of pop downstairs still hanging out from our wedding, we rarely purchase pop to keep at home. We'll indulge once-in-a-while, just like everyone else, but if I am really craving a soda drink (for non-nausea purposes), I'll go for a fruity flavoured carbonated water.
The Lighter Side of Nausea is that it gives me the excuse to buy a case of Fanta and enjoy some! It doubles as an enjoyable drink and a symptom reliever.
Without the nausea I doubt we would ever indulge in actually purchasing pop to keep at home. It's kinda nice to have around. I won't usually drink a full can by myself, but if I get super nauseated in the middle of the night, it is definitely helpful to take a few gulps to get rid of that nausea.
**As a little side update for anyone following following along. I must have gotten a cold - when I was sleeping like crazy for several days. Ended up with a runny nose and very headachy. Obviously not my annual case of Mono. Hooray!
