    I make my own ginger extract and there is a real difference in the benefits. When traveling, I use asian ginger candy or chews. You can also buy powdered "ginger drink" that is nothing more than aged ginger root and honey. You can put a packet in a cup of hot water on a flight. It is fantastic as a hot drink when sick.

    Six and a half hours from Bangkok to Narita with a huge guy like you showed at the end in the window seat. I'm in the middle with half of him on top of me. No empty seats on the plane. He was a doctor BTW. He noted I was white as a sheet and asked me if I was OK. Run off the plane with diarrhea to the squat toilet in the airport. Run to the next flight that was boarding. Takeoff and Whim whams hit again and the stewardess wouldn't allow me to the toilet. I told them it was going to be long 12 hours if my pants was full. Half way to LA It hit again and I vomited all the way to LA laying on the floor. I needed some ginger ale but there wasn't a stew in sight all the way. Thank you United

      What did you drink? If you had light or zero drinks then you have to blame the drinks not the food. Sweeteners causes what you just described. Never drink light or zero drinks. Flying or on the ground. Instant diarrhea and stomach ache.

    I only drink ginger ale (or sometimes tomato juice) when flying. i guess I just intuitively felt that "comfort" a long time ago when I started flying on business back in the early 80s. Mixing ginger ale with scotch is great on longer flights, too!

    "Double scotch and ginger ale" everytime I fly overseas , since my first trip across the ocean; recommended by the Scottish woman next to me. Turned adopted tradition for me ever since. Glad to hear it is beneficial high in the air, the only time my stomach will have it, and many a double per flight when in good company!!

    😀 We have great ginger ale here in Michigan, the most famous is Vernor's Ginger Ale. And there's a deli in Ann Arbor MI that makes the stuff in a variety of strengths ranging from a little tongue-tickler to one that will destroy your palate and make you weep.
    There's a Grand Rapids expat now living in Santa Cruz who's practically addicted to Vernor's, but they don't ship out West. Poor guy.😱

    The only time I ever have a "Bloody Mary" is on a plane. It's absolutely the best cocktail at a cabin pressure of 8000ft. And raw ginger has saved me several times when I went overboard in Thailand with spicey food. It settles the stomach almost immediately.

    James Vernor is credited with the introduction of Ginger Ale in the United States in 1866 in Detroit, long before Canada Dry. Vernor’s is still sold today and is my favorite. I’ll have to order it on my next flight. Normally I have the dreaded Diet Coke.

    Max, you are obviously not from Chicago! My great grandparents are from Palermo - Mangano. It is not Coke for an upset stomach, it’s Pepsi. Because it has pepsin in it, like the chewing gum. We also used Brioschi and not Alka-Seltzer! as for Gingerale, to this Day, it is Vernors ginger soda for me! Although I do always drink, and always have, while in flight, had Gingerale

    Bundaburg brewed ginger beer. Actually made with ginger, visibly cloudy as a result. A lot of the stuff sold in plastic bottles and called Ginger Ale is just carbonated sugar water with artificial ginger flavour and brown food colouring. For example, [common NZ brand] "Dry Ginger Ale" ingredients are: Carbonated Water, Sugar, Food Acid (330), Flavour, Colours (150d, 110), Preservative (202). Zero ginger.

    I was going to say in the beginning of the video - there is no longer ginger in gingerale - or much of it. Not sure, but I think it used to contain more. Mom's in the 1950's always kept a bottle of Coca Cola syrup in the cabinet - a panacea for any kid with an upset tummy. I know mine did.

    Ginger Ales Tier List Best To Worst:
    - Seagrams
    - Canada Dry
    - Schwepps
    Seagrams is the only one still using pure cane sugar so it's leaps and bounds above the rest. The rest are just sad.

    Light and Zero drinks causes explosive diarrhea because of the sweeteners so avoid all times! Otherwise you end up wanting to go to the toilet while being in the customs cue with 3 other 747s and no way to go to toilet. 🫣💩
