Ginger ale is good for an upset stomach because a large portion of it includes ginger, a known medicinal alleviator of nausea. I've never heard of sprite bring good in the same way? I think other carbonated drinks would actually be bad, because carbonation + nausea= bad combo if there's no trace of ginger to calm the symptoms. Sprite is good also versus using Pepsi or Coke because it lacks any caffeine/dyes.
Ginger ale is made with the herb ginger, which has long been used as a natural remedy for nausea and stomach discomfort. According to the National Institutes of Health, ginger possesses chemicals that may reduce nausea and researchers believe that the chemicals work primarily in the stomach, though they may also work in the brain and nervous system. I don't know bout sprite
Ginger ale has ginger in it, which offers natural relief to the stomach, and the carbonation helps you to expel gas and feel better.

Probably the couple fizzy drinks that have the least additives (dyes etc)
I always use to suck on lemonade ice blocks when I had a sore tummy, they work a charm.
Not sure about the sprite but for me Ginger Ale is associated with ginger ehich is supposed to help calm the tummy
Probably because it has a lot less crap like dyes and a lot less sugar.
