Ginger Ale
When I was a young child, if I had a tummy ache, my parents encouraged me to drink Ginger Ale. The idea was that ginger is soothing to an upset stomach, although I don't think there's actually any ginger in ginger ale - more like “real ginger flavor,” probably. It really was soothing, though. I’ve heard similar and dissimilar tales from other people. Some people report the ginger ale story, but say it was flat soda, not bubbly. Others say their parents gave them other kinds of soda drink for the same reason - drinks like cola. Some claim a nursing mother who recommended the same remedy for indigestion. Some recall parents serving on (notoriously unsatable) WWII corvettes in the North Atlantic being given Pepsi for the same reason. Some say that ginger ale was the only soda allowed in the house when they were young because of its medicinal reputation.
My parents had a single champagne glass in the house. In high school I sometimes used that champagne glass to drink my Canada Dry Ginger Ale because the TV commercial called it "the champagne of ginger ales." However, the champagne glass only held a single mouthful and it was too tedious to drink a satisfying amount. So, I gave it up. I thought, “Is this what champagne is like? I hope it tastes better than this.” It might make sense to drink champagne that way, but it's a silly way to drink your ginger ale.
