There are many different types of pop to choose from when face to face with a vending machine. Grape? Cola? Root beer? Of all the selections, one reigns high above the rest: Sprite.
Since 1961, Sprite has been without a doubt the most multi-useful pop of all for a number of reasons. If you don't believe me, let this list convince you.
1. It's perfect for the flu.
Not getting enough fluids? Sick of chugging water? Drink some Sprite! The carbonation will help clear your stomach and it also helps replenish glucose that's been flushed from the body.
2. It's a great mixer.
The only reason I know this is because I found it impossible to acquire Sprite one weekend at school while I was sick. Why? Because everyone had purchased it all to mix with their drinks on their wild weekends. Talk about a disappointment.
3. It's 'healthier' than other sodas.
Sure, soda isn't healthy. However, Sprite is a much better option than others because of its uses while recovering from sickness.
4. It tastes better overall.
Sprite doesn't leave that syrupy aftertaste in your mouth that cola does. Its refreshing lemon-lime flavor tastes great whether it comes in a can, bottle, or from a fountain.
