Nutella and apple slices are good when you're too nervous to eat much.
Peach syrup is souvereign for more serious nausea, including various
stomach bugs.

The old guy (75 years old) who runs the stable where my daughter boards
his horse had a bout of the pukes and was becoming dehydrated. His
daughter, an MD, sent my daughter and the other stable hand scrambling
around to various pharmacies in search of her favorite remedies, which
he was unable to keep down.

Alarmed, my daughter called me and asked what the clear stuff, the sweet
liquid, that I always gave her brother and her was, and did she need a
prescription to buy it?

Told her it was just the liquid from canned peaches in heavy syrup, to
go get a can and pour him a shot glass full and have him sip on it.

Old Al swears by it now, not just for stomach flu, but as a hangover
remedy, too.

sf,

I eagerly await winning 12 jars of nutella to see for myself, any day now.
While I'm wishful thinking, I should probably put $10 on the 80:1 old grey
mare longshot to win in the 3rd at Philly Park in the mud!

Then Yoohoo is some sort of chocolate drink? Where is it found?

It's a bottled, shelf-stable, chocolate flavored beverage. I don't care
for it myself, but it's an iconic summer beverage:

"Summertime"
Kenny Chesney

Summertime is finally here
That old ball park man is back in gear
Out on 40 (as in Interstate 40)now; man I can see the lights (of Neyland
Stadium)
School's out and the night's roll in
Man, just like a long lost friend
You ain't seen in a while
You can't help but smile

And it's two bare feet on the dashboard
Young love in an old Ford
Cheap shades and a tattoo and a Yoohoo bottle on the floorboard
Perfect song on the radio, sing along cause it's one we know
It's a smile, it's a kiss, it's a sip of wine
It's summertime, sweet summertime

Temperature says 93 down at the Deposit and Guaranty (meaning bank sign)
But that swimming hole, it's nice and cold
Bikini bottoms underneath, but the boy's hearts still skip a beat
When them girls shimmy off them old cut-offs

And it's two bare feet on the dashboard
Young love in an old Ford
Cheap shades and a tattoo and a Yoohoo bottle on the floorboard
Perfect song on the radio, sing along cause it's one we know
It's a smile, it's a kiss, it's a sip of wine
It's summertime, sweet summertime

The more things change things change , the more they stay the same
Don't matter how old you are
Man, you know what I'm talkin' 'bout,
Yeah baby, when you got....

Two bare feet on the dashboard
Young love in an old Ford
Cheap shades and a tattoo and a Yoohoo bottle rollin' on the floorboard
Perfect song on the radio, sing along cause it's one we know
It's a smile, it's a kiss, it's a sip of wine
It's summertime, sweet summertime

It's a bottled/canned chocolate drink, and not for the faint of heart.

Not for a real chocolate lover either.

Have you ever had Nutella Jill?
It's just a Hazelnut/Fudge spread and it's really quite good.
On the odd occasions I keep it around, I keep it in the freezer as a
"spoonful" treat.

I can find it at my local grocery store where the rest of the bottle
drinks are. It's in the same sub-section as the fancy root beers.

(laughng) You forget, I don't have a sweet tooth. I do love hazel nuts.
The actual nuts. But I'm not supposed to eat nuts. So nope, I won't be
buying Nutella. It was merely a comment, having heard Nutella extolled on
rfc years ago. Now suddenly it pops up in television ads. That's all I'm
sayin'

Sorry. :-)

As do I. I share them with Freya.

Ah, well, I thought the notion was that ghosts haunted locations where they
were done in until Jennifer Love Hewitt blinded them with her cleavage and
told them to go into the light, not that they travelled and communicated
using exaggerated gestures and inaudible grunts with people whose language
they have refused to learn...but, YMMV, ghost-wise.

Ghosts are better known as waiters and waitresses.

They take your order and then instantly disappear!

I tasted it in N.Z. as an alternative to coffee or tea.
It wasn't bad but it had very little flavor, like drinking
warm, lowfat milk. Once was enough.

I'm not allergic, so I'm itch free at the thought. At least it plays
fair and gives you a clue about containing nuts in the name.

My sister's b-day cake last night was made from layers of ice cream
sandwiches, fudge topping, caramel, toffee bits, dark chocolate chips
and whipping cream, all frozen.

I was tempted. <g>

She gave me 1/2 serving of dark chocolate Ghirardelli chips instead.
<sigh> I did pass on her "cake" but it sounded really amazing.

Up until now, the most decadent cake I'd run across was turtle cake.

I used to be able to buy Coca Cola syrup in a bottle at the pharmacy.
That was the most effective nausea control available without
prescription. You can't get it any longer.

I'll have to remember the peach syrup, but knowing it's basically corn
syrup, wouldn't a shot of watered down Karo work as well? Do the cooked
and canned peaches impart some medicinal magic?

Awesome

Like Janet, I have used cola syrup when I can find it. When I can't, I
combine blackberry Torani syrup (my favorite, I usually have it in the
house) with tap water (twice the amount I'd use for an Italian soda).
Settles down quite well. I suspect any simple syrup with a soothing
flavor would work. But it sound like it's worth keeping a can of peaches
in your cupboard/desk drawer .

If I wanted to do a non-chocolate pick-me-up It was a bottle of Mountain
Dew and some Twinkies.

I still like the Mountain Dew, but now I drink the diet version. <g>

Chuckle. Nutella on apple slices is good when you're not
nervous, so why shouldn't it be good when you are nervous?
Nutella is sorta like bacon - Most food is better with it
added. ;^)

Any idea if it's just the sugar and water or if the traces of
fruit really matter?

Cola syrup seems to be the most effective legal method.

The last time I saw generic cola syrup at a Walgreens pharmacy
was under a year ago. Tiny little bottle on the top shelf next to
the epicac so it wasn't easy to find, but it should still be
available.

Coca-cola is a chocolate based drink. The syrup for it is rich in a
chemical found in chocolate called 'theobromine.' It is this chemical
that is calming to the stomach when there is mild nausea.

This is the same chemical that makes chocolate poisonous to dogs, and
also simulates the human physiologic response that occurs when one is in
love, which is why we like to eat chocolate when depressed!

Do I assume correctly that 'local' means 'in the US?'

It's basically a simple carbohydrate syrup infused with a non-noxious
flavor. It's readily available and inexpensive.

My mother used to try to make us drink Emetrol, purchased in tiny bottle
from the pharmacy. It was awful stuff. I've never understood why, if
you're trying to keep somebody from puking, you would flavor your
product with a combination of mint and lime. I'll never be able to
drink a mojito.

I recently went on a quest to find them, having lost track of them since
childhood. First, I found some imitations that had the same shape but different
flavor; then I found some claiming to be real Drakes devil dogs, but the flavor
had somehow change. I don't know if they're made the same as before or if my
adult tastes have evolved beyond my memories.

Sounds good... I used to drink Cherry Coke about 1/2 hour before a major
test my Sr. year in college. The sugar and caffeine seemed to wake my
brain up enough that I did better on tests. ;-)
