my windex

{image taken from here}
I woke up this morning with a full on sinus cold.  Yuk.  So I'm off to the corner store to buy some coke and a lemon.  Why?  Well, have you ever seen the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding?  You know how the grandpa thinks that windex cures everything?  Well, I'm about to let you in on a secret.  I'm about to tell you my windex.

Hot coke and slices of lemon.  Yes, you read that right.  If you boil coke on a stove, as you would milk, and pour it over fresh lemon slices, I swear to God, I don't know why, but it works.  I learned of it when I lived in Hong Kong.  It's even on menus over there.  I was chronically sick, and everybody was telling me to have hot coke and lemon to get better.  Now, I don't normally drink pop, plus it just sounds gross.  So I was skeptical of it, and I lived in Hong Kong for a full year before I became so desperate to get well that I tried it.  And it worked!  When no doctor-prescribed drugs did!  Since then, it's been my cure-all, and I've turned many others onto it.  It's my secret weapon against colds, flues, and strep throat (which is what I was originally sick with when I tried it for the first time).

Tell me, what's your cure-all?
