Red Bull. Tastes fruity, but also fishy, and also like old copper pennies. I’m convinced people only drink it because it amplifies the drunkenness.
#5
Sparkling water. Like I genuinely don’t see the reason for it and it somehow tastes bitter. I feel like a lot of people drink it just cause it’s fancy? Idk.
#6
IPA.
Now I love your regular lagers, especially draught on a hot sunny day. I even developed a taste for fruit beers too, there's definitely a time and a place for them.
But IPA.... I swear to Sue Barker that it tastes like how cat wee smells. You know that pungent almost ammonia type smell?
That's IPA for me.
I love the cool label designs and names, they have all done well with the branding, but I sort of think that's 75% of the appeal.

Prime.
My nephew gave me a spare bottle and it tastes like if you just ate the icing off an entire birthday cake, despite it being low in sugar.
#11
Brioche bread should never go near a burger (it is a sweet bread) the 'chef' who made that one popular wants sacking.
#15
Beetroot, it tastes like dirt and can’t understand why anyone would want to have it in anything.
#17
Expensive wines. In blind taste tests even ‘experts’ can’t tell them apart from cheap supermarket bottles.
#19
Coffee, high street coffee anyway. 9 times out of 10 it tastes like ashtray but people are still willing to pay £3+ for it. Every morning, because 'they can't even'.
#20
Coffee. Tastes awful and makes me feel sick. Doesn’t even wake you up it literally makes me sleep.
#21
Sweet potato fries are better than normal fries - they have to be properly deep-fried, though, and galvanized with salt/seasoning.
#22
Raw tomatoes.
Like I’ve tried them every single way that is recommended but I cannot stand them. I’ve had them fresh off a vine, still sun-warm, and just nope.
