From Exposure to SymptomsIt usually takes about 3-5 days, but It can take less than 9 hours, depending on the virus which caused it (there are 200 apparently which cause colds :). I drank some of my friend's Coke after he had been drinking from the bottle. We were both sick the next day. It took roughly 9 hours for my sinus pain to tell me i was sick, from 6pm when I drank the Coke to 3am when I woke up and took some vit c.

It should also be noted that Vitamin C will not prevent you from getting the cold. It may only reduce the length of time you have the cold, which may not make that much of a difference.

Usually it takes a while for the symptoms to develop... but with some people (like me) the symptoms appear right after you come down with it. So with most people it takes a while.
