The Magic Cure

I have always been a believer in the healing power of the Fountain Soda. It cures all and fixes anything. When you take a sip of your favorite flavored Fountain Soda (mine is Diet Coke) all your troubles, sickness and any other ailments just seem to melt away.

I was first introduced to the wonder that is the Fountain Soda by my friend the Midge. When we were in 7th grade, we used to ride our bikes to 7-11 to get Big Gulps almost every day over the summer. My mother never kept soda in the house growing up so this was a treat.

While the Fountain Soda can fix most anything, it's primary use is to help get rid of the devastation caused by the hangover. I have yet to have a hangover that the Fountain Soda cannot help. In may not get rid of it totally, but it can make it more bearable.

In recent years I have come to the conclusion that the Fountain Soda cannot act alone. While it is key in speeding up your recovery time, it is not quite potent enough to cure the hangover all on its own. The power lies in the combination of the Fountain Soda and drumroll......the Wendy's Junior Bacon Cheeseburger (JBC).

This little cheeseburger not only tastes good and it a very good value (still $0.99 in some places but $1.19 most everywhere else) It can do anything. The combo has never failed me. Some people substitute the JBC for the McDonald's cheeseburger. That can work too, but I will stand by my JBC.

This weekend, I stumbled upon something so momentous that I am still hard pressed to believe it myself. The power of the JBC and Fountain Soda combo is not reserved solely for post hangover, it can work as a preemptive strike to PREVENT hangovers. Yes, you heard me right. The JBC has a 24 hour window.

My friends and I went shopping on Sunday morning before heading up to Popstar's to celebrate her birthday. We decided to stop at Wendy's for lunch where I had, surprise, the JBC and a Diet Coke.

Around midnight, I looked around and realized that 3 of the 4 of us girls who were drinking had been cut off. I was the only one who had not been (other then the two DD's who I don't count) Despite drinking copious amounts of beer and shots, I still had all my wits about me.

This didn't make sense. I should have been a stumbling drunk like my cohorts. I was acting like a responsible adult instead of the blubbering or table dancing drunk I usually am. When I woke up the next morning, I didn't have the slightest hangover. No spins, no headache...nothing.

The only logical conclusion I could come to was that the JBC had worked it's magic before I started drinking. And not only had it prevented me for feeling sick the next day, it also protected me from making an ass out of myself which is always a good thing.

This is an exciting new discovery that I felt I couldn't keep to myself so I am sending it out to the masses. What you do with this information is up to you.

NOTE: I do not work for Wendy's in any capacity nor am I paid to endorse their products. I am just a satisfied customer.

I will need to try this out - I know the power of greasy food post hangover but never thought about making a preemptive strike...thank you from the masses!

This makes all kind of sense. I will try it out.

I have one issue with your post though: Is Diet Coke a flavor so much as the absence of any flavor altogether? Just throwing it out there.

It is not for everyone, I'll give you that.
