Does Canada Dry ginger ale really have ginger in it?

Actually- they can call it what ever they want- even ginger ale, and not contain ginger. What they can not do- is list on the ingredients "ginger" unless there truly is ginger in it. As far as dr's and mom's- ginger is a healer, but they want you to drink it for the warm carbonation- not the ginger. Back in the day, you would drink tonic- and have a ginger compress made of grated ginger boiled with cheese cloth. But no "ginger ale", that came later, and for the aformentioned bubbles. As for the "natural flavors" yes, thats where they "could" have ginger...but well never truly know- as there is no regulations holding them to anything under "natural flavors". Reality- Im sure there is some, but not much at all. Ginger has a very strong taste- so Canada Dry knows better then to put much if any real ginger in their drink. Try a REAL ginger ale- like Grown Up Soda or Blenheim. Then you will realize the LACK of real ginger in Canada Dry. But hey- I love the stuff!!
