About this drink: Made by Go Fast Sports, contains Milk Thistle Herb. I'm more alarmed than I've ever been. Appearance, aroma, argh? To the eye: It's slightly darker than beer, and not very fizzy. It's also kind of thick, I think. It seems thick, anyway. To the nose: It smells like that horrid mix of really cheap, slightly melted candy you always wind up with just after Christmas. A combination of all the sweets no one ever chooses first, the ones that wind up rotting away at the bottom of the Christmas stocking, eventually finding their own way out of their wrappings and mating with other sweeties to produce horrific, Godzilla-like sweetie creatures. This drink smells like a Godzilla-sweetie. To the mouth: OH SWEET FUCKING JESUS CHRIST It's horrible. I mean, just..fuck. It's indescribable. However, I'm going to give it a shot. The only flavour other than "GENGKnrwjlgbuigYFYTneCRYHJ!#798" that I can discern is that medicinal flavour that kind of tastes like plastic smells when it's been left in the sun until it's gone brittle and powdery. The rest of the drink (and I use the word "drink" with some hesitance) tastes entirely of rotting lawn clippings. I propose a recipe: 2kg rotting lawn clippings 1L home brand cough medicine 500mL motor oil Sprinkling of powdered, aged plastic Carbonated water to taste Yum! This stuff is fucking rancid. And a little while after: The only good thing I can find about this shit is that the flavour leaves you pretty quickly. Possibly because it's speedily replaced by the flavour of your stomach contents. When it gets warm: This review pre-dates the addition of warmth as a criteria. I can well imagine it'd be pretty vile, though. Overall: Vile disgusting horrid fucking shite.  Look! Chemical warfare!  Milk thistle! A noxious weed, for the uninitiated. |
