Ask Lemmy

I don't like matcha or any traditional tea. Tannins in general taste horrible to me, I think I'm sensitive to them or something. It tastes like dryness and astringent, like I've put a cotton bud in my mouth

Beer

Beer. I hate beer.

Oh, I like other alcohols. A nice cider. Some wine. A cocktail. But not beer.

And people have tried making me drink so many kinds of beer, from cheap store brands to "No, this isn't like other beer. It's expensive artisinal beer made in the local region that tastes like a whole fruit basket!". No, it still tastes like beer.

Beer.

Sincerely, a German.

Wine. No, you’re drinking grapes that are past their expiration and smell awful. I’m not crazy!

I am going to likely get downvoted to hell for this but Dr Pepper. It tastes like Raid (the bug killer spray, the way it smells is how DP tastes).

I see like 50 mentions and alcohol and energy drinks. I got something different.

Kombucha.

Holy shit, it's like a soda that went off, and I don't even like soda. It is pungent and awful and I hate that it's marketed so well. Any time I see it on a shelf I'm like "Ooh, what's this fancy looking juice? That's a nice looking bottle. Oh, it's Kombucha, I would rather drink a cup of foamy dog vomit"

Red Bull tastes like ass. I never understood how it became the most popular energy drink.

Aren't bad tasting drinks fun though? Like it's a sensory experience

Alcohol. I cannot abide the taste (or aftereffects) of alcoholic drinks, that shit ruins everything

Cola's

Big ol glass of brown, nasty liquid.

Definitely coffee. I know it's super popular but I can't stand it. I kinda like the smell of it, but the taste I find awful and the aftereffects are excruciating and longlasting. Someone suggested I might have an allergy. I might or might not look further into this at some point

I have tried decaf though, once... chasing the hope that it would still -despite the absence of caffeine- trigger bowel movement at a critical time in my life. and it did! Apparently caused by gastrine, from my superficial reading.

Tequila. It tastes like doing a vodka body shot off a sweaty unwashed taint. No idea how people enjoy it.

Champagne. It tastes of bitter, sour and fizz and because of its stupidly intense carbonation, drinking it needs to be done in tiny little wincing sips, lest it bubble up through your sinuses and come out of your nose.

I swear people only pretend to like champage because they believe it's the drink for 'classy' celebrations, so disliking champagne is, in their mind, a 'low class' and ungrateful thing to do.

Beer.

Kombucha. Man that shit is nasty.

Vodka. It tastes like paint thinner. People say they like it and it must be popular because it sells frequently. But then why do people wince after drinking it?!

Matcha and / or bubble tea. Can't stand the stuff.

I don't get beer

Moxie. It’s like all the worst flavors of birch beer and root beer combined.

Every energy drink ever invented.

All diet drinks. Whatever sugar substitutes they use taste awful no matter what. Now there are products I can't consume because the default version has fake sugar as well. Nasty stuff.

Kool-aid. Ideological Blast.

Beer.

Monster energy drinks. Tastes like what I imagine dumpster juice is like.

And any drink with Stevia in it. Instant dealbreaker if I see it in the ingredients.
