You might have heard the old wives’ tale: “It has to be flat.” The logic is that bubbles irritate the stomach. But I say nuts to that. Flat Coke tastes like regret and burnt sugar.
Personally, I’m team slightly fizzy. Let it sit for five minutes so it’s not a volcano, but it’s still got some life. That little bit of fizz is the whole point.
But hey, if you’re a “leave it open for an hour” person? You do you. We’re not judging your flat soda lifestyle. We’re just desperate for relief.
The Verdict: Should You Cokify Your Ache?
Yes. If you have a mild, gassy, “I ate too much” kind of stomach ache. It’s a greasy spoon diner cure for a greasy spoon diner problem.
What Really Happens to Your Body When You Drink a Can of Coke - YouTube
No. If you have a fever, stabbing pains, or if the thought of sugar makes you want to die. Then put the can down and grab some water and a heating pad.
Think of it as a fizzy lucky charm. It works until it doesn’t. You’re basically gambling with carbonated sugar water.
