How come things like sucking on candy, or cough drops, feel good. But apple juice, which is also sugary, usually feel a bit rough going down. What’s the reasoning for this?
Sucking on candy produces saliva, which lubricates your throat with saliva.
Apple juice, along with most juices, is acidic, so it lubricates your throat with *acid.* As you can imagine, this does not pair well with easily-irritable sore throats.
