My beverage of choice

This is what I've been staring at, drinking and snuggling with today...my Canada Dry Ginger Ale. We are quick to suggest this fizzy drink to people with nausea or icky feelings.
But why?

Can you see yourself suggesting Diet Coke with Lime to folks coming down with strep throat? After all, Lime is the brother of Lemon, so that should work.

Oh well.

2 yummy Canada Dry Ginger Ale bottles later, I'm feeling better and I share with you this ad from 1954.
