When I had an upset stomach or something like a virus, Sprite was always the beverage I was told to drink. Now, the healing powers of Sprite just may be stretching even further.

Researchers in China are suggesting that Sprite can now cure a good ole fashioned hangover.

Scientists have discovered that Sprite does the best job of breaking down the chemical compound that causes hangovers. It's called acetaldehyde. Something about the mix of carbonation and chemicals in Sprite will break it down.

On the flip side, these same researchers claim that herbal tea is the worst thing for a hangover. It actually makes the hangover worse. Who would've thunk?
