masque12A friend told me that taking a spoonful of vinegar can make heartburn go away. I was skeptical, since vinegar is acidic, and heartburn is caused by stomach acid, but he gave a good spiel. This morning I woke up around 2 AM with a vicious case of heartburn, and I couldn't find any antacids. So I figured, hell, I'll try it. It can't hurt, right?
WRONG.
I took the spoonful, and immediately my throat started burning, my eyes watered up, and within seconds of swallowing it, I repeatedly projectile vomited into the sink. Once I finished throwing up, and rinsed out with lots of water, I realized that the heartburn was still there, and was in fact, worse.
Myth busted. Fuck vinegar home remedies. Pass the Tums.
