When a sore throat is beginning to develop, pull out the cola! Just gargle with any type of a cola (Dr. Pepper, Coke, Pepsi, favorite store brands of cola). Gargle and "spit" until the cola return looks like cola with no mucus. Do this as often as necessary! Sounds gross, but it works!

I have heard this advice, too. I tried it one time and it did not help me at all. It probably works for some and not others. The one thing that always helps me without fail is to gargle with salt water. I think it's a matter of trying different things to see what works for you!
I'm going to try that. Phosphoric acid is in cola I think and maybe it's that. An acid environment with fizzing to get in crevices of throat. Bacteria doesn't like acid.
