The taste of this stuff will haunt me to the end of my days.

Calorie burner? More like stomach lining and enamel dissolver. 


Come on, Nestea.

Vault is the worst.

I love the yellow-green soft drinks.  Several (two?) local restaurants I frequent have replaced delicious Mello Yello with vomitous Vault.

I fill out angry comment cards every time I am there, but so far no luck.

Taco Bell also got rid of Code Red.  WTF is that?

I like the other flavored San Pellegrino drinks I've had (Limonata and Aranciata), but this one is just nasty. I've been told it's an acquired taste, but I couldn't get past the initial burst of gross. I ended up throwing away most of the 4-pack.

I went to the Kentucky Derby this year and had a Mint Julep.  It consisted of a terrible prefab mix and a dirty sprig of mint. I imagine it was similar to drinking dirty toilet water, which was exactly what it looked like.

I just discovered that S. Pellegrino had flavored stuff this past week, but I didn't spring for the 4 pack of glass bottles because they have 180 calories a can - I might as well just sit back with a Mountain Dew.

In fact, that sounds like a good idea.

what is Chinotto?  I kind of like the stuff, but I have to be in the right mood to drink it.

I find most types of soda (grapefruit excepted) pretty gross, but blueberry coffee wins the award for worst beverage. I think it was at a Bruegger's Bagels- they've had different types of flavored coffee since and I haven't tried any of them.

scotch

Sorry, that's an incorrect answer. Please go backstage to receive your consolation prize...  ;D


Bloody Marys are easily the worst drink ever. For non-alcoholic I'd go tea or black coffee. I need to add tons of sugar and cream to coffee to even get a sip down.

I think Scotch is one of those things you have to reprogram your brain to like. I actually used to almost like it. But I stopped drinking right before I started law school (no, I didn't have a "problem" which is annoyingly what people always assume) and now the smell of all alcohol, even beer, is just really unappealing to me, like cleaning fluid. Red wine and brown liquors are definitely the worst.

I love grapefruit juice and black coffee which I guess a lot of others don't like. But my vote is for shelf stable regular milk. Shelf stable chocolate or stawberry is tolerable. But regular tastes like plastic and corpses.

EWWWWWWWWW!!!!

I'd add Jagermeister to the list. Red Bull too. I can't believe they mix those two in a drink. It must taste like licorice cough syrup.
Title: Zima Gold and Orbitz
Post by: steely damn on July 21, 2008, 03:49:46 PM
Zima Gold, briefly produced in 1996, maybe? I cannot find a pic, but trust me, this happened.

It was not sweet, and looked like urine. Three friends of mine bought some on a lark.
Our Reviews:
Me: glarf-ecchh! Um, it tastes like you soaked a moldy library book in boiling water, added alcohol and carbonated it.

Jim: eeehhhhhwww! hmmmm. That's just nothing but wino-piss

Lou: oooohhhhhgggg! Hey, you know when people get dialysis? I guess I know what the do with all the crap they take out of their blood now...

I like that cherry limeade! It's not something I want to drink all the time but it's really good. There's only a hint of cherry in it otherwise it just tastes like normal limeade which is always very sweet.

My girlfriend's Vietnamese grandma is very into natural remedies. She's always trying to get me to drink artichoke juice and I finally relented. Worst thing ever, pretty much what I imagine drinking a piping hot glass of piss would taste like.

Bloody Mary. Coffee (don't judge).

I'm with you on both Martin. I will never get how people can drink Bloody Marys. I tried mixing one a week ago just to see if I might like it now. It's like drinking ketchup.

It really does depend who makes it. Generally I agree with you, but I had one at a bar in Youngstown, Ohio (don't ask) and it was one of the best things I've ever tasted. I wish I had that guy's recipe.

Re coffee: I've hated the taste of coffee since I was a kid. I believe I can trace it back to when I was sick once and ate coffee-flavored ice cream. From that day on, I associate it with throwing up, and cringe at the taste - can't even eat chocolate with coffee in it, or have a coffee-flavored drink.

BUT: a couple of weeks ago I tried my first espresso. Not bad! (Cue coffee aficionados: it's not the same thing/flavor. I know! That's what I like about it!)

They really can be good if they're made right.  I agree that if they're thick, they're disgusting.

The really good one that I had had a lot of pepper and spiciness to counter the sweetness of the tomato.

Yup, lots of pepper and lots of hot sauce, that's essential.

I have an unopened 1993 Carolina Blue soda celebrating the Tar Heels' national championship.  I wonder what it's like on the poison scale? 

I had 1983 NC State, 1992 Duke, 1986 New York Mets (RC Cola), and the prize of them all 1981 Clemson Tigers championship sodas, but they all rusted through and leaked out.

I have a Rod Carew Coke bottle (glass) which I think was honoring his HOF entrance. I had it in a box under the stairs at my parents house and I looked at it a few years ago and it was half empty. It wasn't open, seemed to be sealed tight and there wasn't any pop or stickiness in the box or on the bottle. Does soda evaporate over time even when sealed? It was probably under the stairs for about 15 years.

In 1990, my mom got me a Husky Cola as a joke during a trip to Seattle. I was a diehard WSU fan, so I refused to touch it. We still had it in the refrigerator as of the late 90s; I don't know where it went off to after that.

scotch

I agree.
Sometimes I wonder if the people who go on and on about it are doing so out of some weird machismo, since it seems to be guys who spend a lot of time preoccupied with old school manliness. But that would be too weird a thing to do and most alcoholic beverages are acquired tastes.
Title: Re: worst beverage
Post by: Gilly on July 23, 2008, 05:25:15 PM
Nah, scotch is the only hard alcohol that I can drink straight on ice. It goes down smooth and doesn't taste like candy. That's the appeal of it.
Title: Re: worst beverage
Post by: ericluxury on July 23, 2008, 05:29:03 PM
I am sure that people genuinely like it, but it is up there with wine in drinks that people who like it will blather on and on about or appear to feel proud of themselves for liking. However, I love wine so I understand it with wine. Not liking Scotch makes that behaivor less palatable.

I hate that kind of whiskey machismo, I run into it all the time. As I said in the other thread, when it comes to whiskey I really can't stand cheap blends. But a smokey, xx-year old single malt like Aardbeg or Laphroaig, which fills up a whole room with a smell of tar, can be heavenly, be it straight up, with some water, or on the rocks. One or two is enough though.
