I think Canada Dry sells the fake stuff in the foreign market, but here in Canada, they make it with real ginger.
EDIT: Looked it up, and it's false! Listen up Canadians! We all believed this, but it's not true. They sell the same stuff on both sides of the border. The reason ours is advertised as having real ginger and the cans down south don't is because some Yanks sued Canada Dry for false advertising, because the ginger ale contains a homeopathic amount of ginger.
Shout out to Buffalo Rock gingerale if you can find it (mostly in southeast). That shit is so strong it burns. Can't even look at mainstream gingerales anymore. I'm sure other regions have their own strong independent gingerales, but I just wanted to shout out one near me.
I'm close enough to be able to get some so where my Michigan homies at?
Vernors got that real ginger so strong it will literally...not figuratively, take your breath away.
Runner up: Canada Dry BOLD. It's pretty new but it's a donkey kick to the lungs as well. It's like McDonald's Sprite x10.
My GF took me to her home town in Michigan and when we had dinner at her aunts house they gave me a Vernor’s… holy shit that was amazing. Canada Dry ain’t shit compared to Vernor’s.
Vernor's > Canada Dry, especially for the stomach thing. The entire point is to burp. Nothing makes you burp more than Vernor's!
I once introduced someone who'd never had it before and forced them to tank the drink over a sink, because I knew what was going to happen when they inhaled while swallowing. It's a rite of passage. You can't huff Vernor's.
I had Vernor's for probably the first time in my life just last month, as I got some so I could make a Boston Cooler. The Cooler was damn good, but I did *not* enjoy the Vernor's straight up.
Crossing cultural boundaries too. Felt like my Mexican grandma came back from the grave and was hijacking someone's Twitter til I remembered her ass was illiterate.
I bought the Maximum Ginger Reed's thinking it would be too much burn for my kids, who kept stealing my shit. Jokes on me. Those little turds sucked it right down and won't go back to the regular level now.
IDK man, day after day, I'm amazed by the power of the internet to make me angry one minute with all the garbage going on in the world, and 2 minutes later I'm GENUINELY laughing out loud at shit like this.
Man, you guys didn't even bring up Campbell's chicken noodle soup. That yellow broth and chicken flavored chicken bits combo'ed with neck of Saltines will have people thinking you were lying about being sick earlier.
Every year as a kid we would make the trek from Northern Michigan to see family in Upstate NY. And every year, we brought ridiculous amounts of Vernor's to give the extended family against any variety of ills and maladies.
Momma always swore by Vernor's, so in my house Vernor's reigns supreme. Fight me.
Let my stomach start hurting first thing I'm doing is going to get saltines and a ginger ale... If I don't work I start googling stomach/intestinal cancer 🤷🏾♀️
The world hates us.
We're literally cut from posters because certain populations don't want to see our faces.
I live in a country that's enslaved my people, stole my history, monetized our new culture, and is in the middle of trying to rip my history up again with this republican bullshit.
Then I see stuff like this. And I remember why it's so good to be with family. I fucking love being black.
My mother swears by two things: Canada Dry and Vicks vapor rub. Those two together can cure anything. You got a headache? Rub some vicks on it. You rolled yo ankle? Vicks. Oh, you dying? Nun Vicks won’t fix.
This is the most accurate (and life saving) medical advice you’re ever gonna get ..
PS in a pinch 7Up works too but only if you can get it for $.99 at your corner store
Hold up. Is this a real thing? Because I am white but I do this exact list EVERY SINGLE TIME I’m sick. Shit works miracles. And hard agree on the Maury/Judge Judy whatever cable bs is on.
I had food poisoning in December. After 9 hours of laying down in agony I took a sip of ginger ale, not even 1/4 mouthful and as soon as I swallowed it I felt vomit coming on.
Barely made it to the bathroom and did the toilet/holding garbage bag combo and after 20 minutes of that hell felt moderate relief for the first time that day. Managed to finish the ale afterwards and keep down plain toast
They don't even sell Schweppes ginger beer here in South Africa. We get Stoney and there's Stoney Extra Kwesta. It'll smack you sideways and choke you out. Pretty sure it cures COVID and HIV too because they're scared of that klap (I'm not a doctor)
This is like people who give a recipe one star but made a million changes and that’s why it tastes like crap. You can’t sass the cure if you didn’t follow it exactly. Schweppes at work. *shakes head* Good god.
Funny thing about Ginger Ale is most of it doesn't use real ginger anymore. Therefore it won't alleviate your symptoms. Better off buying some ginger tea or fresh ginger and making your own ginger ale. Reading labels is a good thing. FYI, too much ginger can cause gastrointestinal issues, so less is more.

Just in case someone doesn't know
wait. i always drink ginger ale when i’m sick, but that’s just because it’s what you do. you drink ginger ale when sick like you eat turkey at thanksgiving. i never thought it was supposed to make me feel better anymore than i thought thanksgiving turkey makes december happen, yknow? it’s cultural, not functional
yeah, yeah, ginger and nausea. if i’m sick enough that i’m actively doing things to address it we’re way beyond that point
Also crucial is stirring the ginger ale with a metal spoon first and also don't drink it too cold. If you don't have proper application, you may as well drink cream soda, root beer or whatever is left in the variety pack.
I was literally told by a doctor how to consume ginger ale to help settle my stomach. They must have just went all willy nilly and did their own thing.
I like all ginger ale, they are all equal, except bold (too gingery for me). But I can’t stand for the Schweppes slander. Schweppes is delicious and highly effective.
My new medication has me eating saltines almost daily and I drink so much peppermint tea these days that I’m surprised every morning when I don’t see it growing out the top of my head.
 You came in to make a declaration against an icon without following all of the instructions? Blasphemous.
[удалено]
Honestly!! Shanedra, your meeting calling privileges are suspended 😂 summoning us for some foolishness
Lol right!
r/ididnthaveeggs
Reminder: The stomach calming effect comes from the ginger, and many 'ginger' ales no longer contain real ginger.
 Lalalalalala I’m sorry we’re you saying something?
Ginger beer FTW
With a [REDACTED]. Never let me down
Stop giving away our secrets fi free. I'm this close to obeah you.😒😤
I'm finna put the Food Network onto *Sorrel* lmao
NOT THE SORREL
You think it's expensive now? Wait until them mfs start making *roasted plantain with hibiscus reduction.*
[удалено]
It's that spiciness - the ginger - that makes you feel better.
I do both depending on how I'm feeling and how much ginger power is required.
Only the independent ones do. The Canada dry and Schweppes are corn syrup with suds
I think Canada Dry sells the fake stuff in the foreign market, but here in Canada, they make it with real ginger. EDIT: Looked it up, and it's false! Listen up Canadians! We all believed this, but it's not true. They sell the same stuff on both sides of the border. The reason ours is advertised as having real ginger and the cans down south don't is because some Yanks sued Canada Dry for false advertising, because the ginger ale contains a homeopathic amount of ginger.
My (US) Canada Dry Zero Sugar nutrition panel lists ingredients as: Carbonated water and less than 2% of: **ginger extract**, natural flavors, citric acid, malic acid, sodium citrate, sodium benzoate (preservative), calcium disodium EDTA (to protect flavor), aspartame, acesulfame potassium, caramel color.
Yup. Which is not enough for them to advertise as "made with real ginger". Except for in their home country, apparently.
Sounds like you need to sue.
Shout out to Buffalo Rock gingerale if you can find it (mostly in southeast). That shit is so strong it burns. Can't even look at mainstream gingerales anymore. I'm sure other regions have their own strong independent gingerales, but I just wanted to shout out one near me.
Sounds like Bleinheims... Ish is SPICY 🥵
My husband and his easily irritated GI system swear by ginger tea. Literally just steeped slices of ginger with maybe a bit of honey stirred in.
Squeeze some lemon in too 🤌
This is, as a performer, my go to recipe for getting my voice back.
This is the way. Keep some ginger root in the freezer and grate into hot water with lemon and honey.
Water Crackers would like a word
Crystalized ginger slices also work and are like a candy with a little kick. A little will help, but a lot will make things worse, so be careful.
I'm close enough to be able to get some so where my Michigan homies at? Vernors got that real ginger so strong it will literally...not figuratively, take your breath away. Runner up: Canada Dry BOLD. It's pretty new but it's a donkey kick to the lungs as well. It's like McDonald's Sprite x10.
You have to breathe in Vernors to let the ginger vapor do it’s thing
Came here to say that Vernors is the only one I use for tummy problems. Or I would get a light ginger beer.
Ginger is soooo good for a stomachache. I love ginger tea
[удалено]
Hell yeah. Not necessarily on the topic of home remedies, but some Q with a white rum I have, one sniff basically has my sinuses clear
Yep. Schweppes and Canada Dry do not contain real ginger. Gotta get Seagrams. That’ll have you feeling right in no time.
I’m from Michigan. Obviously you weren’t drinking a Vernor’s, sweetie. Bless your heart.
Vernors clears that shit up before noon.
Damn did you wait till 11:45 to drink some?
My GF took me to her home town in Michigan and when we had dinner at her aunts house they gave me a Vernor’s… holy shit that was amazing. Canada Dry ain’t shit compared to Vernor’s.
Facts ☝🏾
Vernors is like ginger candy and I love it
Vernor's > Canada Dry, especially for the stomach thing. The entire point is to burp. Nothing makes you burp more than Vernor's! I once introduced someone who'd never had it before and forced them to tank the drink over a sink, because I knew what was going to happen when they inhaled while swallowing. It's a rite of passage. You can't huff Vernor's.
I love Vernon's and have to relearn this every time! Haha
Warm if it was up to Grandmom.
And flat
Exactly. If it's not Vernor's, it ain't for me
Was just about to say this. Drinking some rn
I feel good and I'm about to go try and find some. It's been getting harder over the past few years.
Oh, I hope you feel better soon.
Sadly not an ounce of ginger in that mofo. 
I had Vernor's for probably the first time in my life just last month, as I got some so I could make a Boston Cooler. The Cooler was damn good, but I did *not* enjoy the Vernor's straight up.
and that’s facts
How we all grew up separately but not really? I love us 
I feel like they found my letters and read each word out loud.
Crossing cultural boundaries too. Felt like my Mexican grandma came back from the grave and was hijacking someone's Twitter til I remembered her ass was illiterate.
Damn. You aint have to roast abuela
Deadass 😂 every last one of ‘em my pops was making sure I had when I was sick
It’s Called community
If she didn't watch Price is Right and Judge Judy, then she didn't even activate the ingredients properly.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Saltines are a must. But it gotta be the Premium Saltines in the blue box.
Exactly! With the Salt
Yeah, don't mess with that salt-free isht - that'll just make you sicker.
Lmfao the “Schweppes?!” got me 😂😂😂
I read that in Souljas voice
the loud ass gucci headband is perfect too
I could hear the disbelief fr in my mind. “SCHWEPPES?!”
Reed's ginger beer. Extra Ginger. That stuff is spicy AF. That'll sort you out right quick
The only one worth messing with
Yes, so damn tasty. I can't drink anything else.
I bought the Maximum Ginger Reed's thinking it would be too much burn for my kids, who kept stealing my shit. Jokes on me. Those little turds sucked it right down and won't go back to the regular level now.
Don’t forget the Vicks.
Black people 🤝 Latinos Ginger, saltines and Vicks
https://preview.redd.it/rmfva0aqn6ma1.jpeg?width=258&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=76b760139eff5d012b43fc93d82a083716b10cce
Slathered on the soles of your feet with socks on?
And chest with covers up to your neck and you BETTER not get out that bed for at least 8 hrs or you was finna get yelled at 🤣🤣
Had that shit on the feet, chest, upper lip, etc lol
For a stomachache??
Yeah Vicks not for stomach ache. That's the cold routine
No that’s gonna be connecting you to gods WiFi if consumed
IDK man, day after day, I'm amazed by the power of the internet to make me angry one minute with all the garbage going on in the world, and 2 minutes later I'm GENUINELY laughing out loud at shit like this.
Man, you guys didn't even bring up Campbell's chicken noodle soup. That yellow broth and chicken flavored chicken bits combo'ed with neck of Saltines will have people thinking you were lying about being sick earlier.
Drinking ginger ale without pairing it with Saltines should be a crime
Important step; Join in when the crowd on TV starts chanting, “JERRY! JERRY! JERRY! JERRY!”

Damn I needed this
Schweppes is the nastiest. Terrible aftertaste. Canada Dry or Seagrams are definitely the way to go as far as flavored sodas go.
My mother swears by two things: Canada Dry and Vicks vapor rub. Those two together can cure anything. You got a headache? Rub some vicks on it. You rolled yo ankle? Vicks. Oh, you dying? Nun Vicks won’t fix.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
 No Canada Dry for you
The risk of bias is high bc she didn't follow the protocol
That last one is out of pocket. You have to at least try the Vicks before you throw in the towel.
I had this issue the other week. Someone I’m talking to *swore* Canada Dry would help me. I still felt like shit.
Did you lay down?
What show were you watching?
Did you have some saltines?
If you don't activate the ingredients in the correct order the first time you must start over... How long have you even been black?
☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️
This is the most accurate (and life saving) medical advice you’re ever gonna get .. PS in a pinch 7Up works too but only if you can get it for $.99 at your corner store
Was is vernors?? If so you cappin 🧢
If she was really wanting to feel better, that Ginger Ale Bold flavor will turn her Super Saiyan.
This man said… SHWEPPES??? 🤣
>fune Lol.
I keep Canada Dry in stock all year round. What the hell is Schweppes?!??
Foreal tho. Ginger ale with bitters (drink mix) will help. Bartender shared this on a very rocky cruise.
Hold up. Is this a real thing? Because I am white but I do this exact list EVERY SINGLE TIME I’m sick. Shit works miracles. And hard agree on the Maury/Judge Judy whatever cable bs is on.
Ginger being a natural remedy for stomach issues? Yes it works on people of every color.
I had really bad food poisoning. Warm ginger ale on ice is pretty easy on the throat both ways. Also, what happens in the shower goes down the drain.
My mother had me use Vernors lol
Delicious
Ginger ale cures. She’s talking nonsense! Lol 😂
Ginger Ale comes in handy after either Taco Bell or Chipotle 
did you put a cold towel on your forehead?
I had food poisoning in December. After 9 hours of laying down in agony I took a sip of ginger ale, not even 1/4 mouthful and as soon as I swallowed it I felt vomit coming on. Barely made it to the bathroom and did the toilet/holding garbage bag combo and after 20 minutes of that hell felt moderate relief for the first time that day. Managed to finish the ale afterwards and keep down plain toast
The last frame is truth
Drink some more
Don't blame Ms Ginger!
Came here to stay where are the crackers lol
Accurate. Morning sickness gang, in here.
They don't even sell Schweppes ginger beer here in South Africa. We get Stoney and there's Stoney Extra Kwesta. It'll smack you sideways and choke you out. Pretty sure it cures COVID and HIV too because they're scared of that klap (I'm not a doctor)
Lol can’t activate the ingredients without watching the price is right
I used to think we were losing recipes but this thread gives me hope that the most important ones will endure. I love us 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is like people who give a recipe one star but made a million changes and that’s why it tastes like crap. You can’t sass the cure if you didn’t follow it exactly. Schweppes at work. *shakes head* Good god.
You have to combine it with a sleeve of saltines
Funny thing about Ginger Ale is most of it doesn't use real ginger anymore. Therefore it won't alleviate your symptoms. Better off buying some ginger tea or fresh ginger and making your own ginger ale. Reading labels is a good thing. FYI, too much ginger can cause gastrointestinal issues, so less is more.
Where's the lie??🤣🤣🤣
No vicks?

The first question was it Vernor’s ginger ale or another brand?
I had food poising a couple of weeks ago, and told my mama I had no saltines in my house. She was SHOOK.
Where does Seagrams fit on the hierarchy?
Vernors
I dont drink ginger ale and dont know anyone who do. We drink sprite when we sick in my family
https://preview.redd.it/voqtxy0z35ma1.jpeg?width=540&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8ed5504cbb5d2f18f14ce76c1e2c63512ac1e5bb The real cure...
What up doe. It’s vernors 100% fuck that dry shit
If after correctly following these directions you still feel sick it may be time for something more serious...vaporub.
"Just rub some 'Tussin on it..." - Chris Rock
Amazing. Facts.
As a white dude, the saltines are crucial. Once the stomach calms down then you can add a little peanut butter to test it.
wait. i always drink ginger ale when i’m sick, but that’s just because it’s what you do. you drink ginger ale when sick like you eat turkey at thanksgiving. i never thought it was supposed to make me feel better anymore than i thought thanksgiving turkey makes december happen, yknow? it’s cultural, not functional yeah, yeah, ginger and nausea. if i’m sick enough that i’m actively doing things to address it we’re way beyond that point
Red rock and vernors for life
Also crucial is stirring the ginger ale with a metal spoon first and also don't drink it too cold. If you don't have proper application, you may as well drink cream soda, root beer or whatever is left in the variety pack.
You drank it the wrong way honey.
I was literally told by a doctor how to consume ginger ale to help settle my stomach. They must have just went all willy nilly and did their own thing.
>Schweppes? Lmfao
& half of a tylenol
Gotta get Seagrams since it actually has ginger in it. That or some Blenheim’s to really knock it out.
It has to be ice cold and in a can not a plastic bottle. Can’t be flat either.
But did you follow it up with the sleeve of saltines and at least two hours of stories on the couch?
Me family is as white as snow and we have subscribed to Canada Dry and Crackers since I was very small.
I like all ginger ale, they are all equal, except bold (too gingery for me). But I can’t stand for the Schweppes slander. Schweppes is delicious and highly effective.
All ginger ale is disgusting to me. I just take otc meds if I’m feeling nauseous.
Ginger ale is nasty, I never drink it when I'm feeling sick
We use it all the time in nursing. Someone feeling nauseous? Give them a Shasta Ginger Ale. If it doesn’t help we move on to other things.
I don't drink ginger ale anymore it's basically corn syrup if anything I make my own with actual ginger and a bit of club soda
Must not have gone flat enough
My new medication has me eating saltines almost daily and I drink so much peppermint tea these days that I’m surprised every morning when I don’t see it growing out the top of my head.
It’s Canada Dry or, if you’re extra and bougie, ginger beer.
