I don’t know about scientific prove. But it really proven so…. in my experience. In all our experience isn’t it?

Nonsense.I only drink cold drinks.I believe in to counter poison with poison( ÈÅUÅ)

Just guessing... when our flesh touches cold stuff, the area will auto heat up to keep it from going too cold... as such, having a throat related cough, the cold drink will irritate the throat and will make the healing process slower...

Lung related cough shouldn't be a problem...

Hogzilla SG

Ya. Something like that, I think.

Because the body heat that prevents the bacteria/virus to act up will be used to heat up the body parts that came in contact with the cold drink, so the bacteria/virus got more time to act up. (Taken from Mad Labs)

So there are some scientific facts behind a grandmother's story. Wink

Is grandmother story ah. Think in the end its all depends on what you think will happen to you. Last time I coughing for two weeks so didn’t drink any soft drinks. Then I cannot tahan already go and drink Coke, after that my cough cured.

serious??
but then again, the earliest coke was meant as a cough syrup.

if the "cold" irritates the "throat" or is causing the "cough", sure, don't drink.

if not, sure, go ahead and drink...

some people, when they drink cold water down their throat, they will start coughing (asthmatics) or worse....

so grandmothers, to play safe, tell you... cannot drink cold drinks!

after all if you don't drink, no problem right?

This is how "kiasu" starts...
