Smirnoff Vodka, that shit tastes like cologne.
If matcha wasn’t basically the new boba (at least in the West), trendy and whatnot among the girlies, people would admit it’s just grass + whatever else is in the drink (and it’s not the grass but the rest which makes it enjoyable). Or maybe it really does taste great but only for half of the Western world, idk, but it hasn’t been my experience (and my wife hates it too so there are always exceptions, lol).
Tastes like sugary lawn clippings
I find that there’s a pretty wide range in matcha quantity, and the stuff that’s actually really good is going to cost an arm and a leg, and it’s probably become a victim of its own popularity, to satisfy the demand they’re just importing more lower quality matcha.
The first time I tried it was probably like 15 years ago, I grabbed a little tin from a fancy grocery store on a whim that I think I remember costing about $20 and probably had less than an ounce of powder in it. And that stuff was really good. I then got a bigger bag of cheaper stuff somewhere and it tasted like straight-up swamp water. Most of what’s out there now that you’ve probably tried is somewhere in between. I don’t mind it, but it’s not good enough for me to want to seek it out, and the good stuff is hard to find and probably even more expensive these days.
And to make matters worse, I don’t think there’s really any official standardized grading or labeling for it, so it’s kind of hard to figure out what you’re getting, you might see things like “Ceremonial grade” thrown around, but that’s pretty much just a meaningless marketing term.
Sour beers / goses. I keep coming back every couple of years to see if my tastes have changed and they always taste awful to me. I’m glad most brewers hopped (pun somewhat intended) on the IPA train because I much prefer them over the sour options.
Matcha. Every everyone says it’s this wonderful day and when I try it it’s like drinking blended lawn clippings.
Matcha does taste like grass, I agree, and I still like it. I guess if I ate grass I probably wouldn’t hate it, at least from a taste perspective
It’s delicious. I also love sencha. Black coffee is also superior compared to the sugar bomb coffee drinks most of the country drinks.
Look, I champion black coffee wherever I can. I drink it decaf…
But I draw the line at matcha. Don’t lie to yourself.
Lmao your opinion is already compromised with the self admission of decaf coffee which in itself is an oxymoron.
It’s like saying sugar free Frappuccino!
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.
I tried Red Bull once and it tasted like shit medicine juice. Never tried it again.
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.
Every energy drink ever invented.
Red Bull tastes like ass. I never understood how it became the most popular energy drink.
Carbonated flavored water. I do not understand how people can drink something that’s only claim to flavoring is that it at some point sat near a fruit of some kind.
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.
Gin. It’s garbage.
