Title: Worst Tasting Commercial Beverage?
Post by: Halo on December 03, 2006, 08:54:47 PM
Tab

(Unless you're into metallic aftertaste.)

But it wasn't as bad as some beverages that never made it to mass market.  When I lived in a Midwestern city that was a trial area for new products, one summer we got to test (brace yourselves) lime beer and cherry beer.

They were two separate drinks, but they couldn't have tasted worse if they were blended.  Notice you never got to try them in your town, right?  You can thank us brave souls who used them for mouthwash.

I gotta say I don't really enjoy the flavor of Red Bull.

I think it's the Red Bull CEO himself that said Red Bull is proof you can make a lot of money selling a drink that doesn't even taste good.

Diet coke and pepsi both taste awful.  

Red Bull is good with some Jager or vodka in it.  :)

Beer.

Never have liked it, tried for months to aquire a taste for it. I have found some that were less bad than others but none has ever tasted "good".

I like Rum. Think I will stick to my Cuba Libres.

Back in the late '80s I flew with Aeroflot down to the Black Sea resorts, and was served some slimy green juice with the in-flight food. I imagine that's what nuclear waste taste like.

Jagermeister. I can only assume it's made from used kitty litter because I've never tasted used kitty litter. But if I ever did taste used kitty litter, I'm willing to bet it tastes just like Jager.

Good call.  To me it tastes like cough syrup.  Unless I'm a raging alcoholic, I am not going to drink cough syrup to get a buzz.

Anything labelled "Sugar Free" and/or "Caffeine Free".

Busch Light. Natural Light. Pretty much any Light beer.

And yes, I have to agree that Red Bull is godawful. Makes smaking my tongue with a hammer sound like a good option.

ugh GAWD it was horrible... its worse than that clear medicine for really bad colds that tastes like something you put in a car engine.

Post by: Black Sheep on December 04, 2006, 12:19:52 AM
I liked Tab AND Fresca - still do - don't know why - I like the out of ordinary I guess - anyways

Jager and Red Bull are horrible unless you mix them together -

Old Milwaulkee Best Light - is the worst crapola  I've ever had BUT

Old Milwaulkee in the can I do like - It reminds me of my grandfather (given me big sips when I was 10 or so) - so I guess that's nostalgic

Corona with a lime is mighty tasty -

I love Blenheim Ginger bier (the hot version)

I can only drink milk if it is 2% and ICE COLD - like 33 degrees - I'll go so far as to add ice to it if I have to - :)

You're ALL WRONG.

Tie - Budwater or "Coke".   The "Failed Let's change the recipe, they'll still buy it."   Coca Cola lost MILLIONS, but the outcry of "Loyal Coca-Cola" drinkers makes it a front-runner.

Lost millions?  New Coke was the most effective marketing phenomena in history.

Coke was losing the Cola Wars when they decided to release New Coke (which was styled after Pepsi).  The hype created by it and their subsequent switch back to something that was more like the classic recipe ended up boosting their sales through the roof.  They won the Cola Wars, and New Coke was the cause.

Worst ever, Jagermeister.   When I was stationed in Germany we used to have a big poker party on Super bowl night.   later in the evening one of the guys decided that the winner of the poker hand had to take a shot of jager.  After two shots in 30 minutes I decided I would rather lose.

Also anything with the words Diet, Sugar Free, Caffinee free, Alcohol free, fat free.. just plain suxs.  

Beer wise,  Keystone, Busch, Schlitz, Coors... its a long list.  Beers worth drinking is a much shorter list and there mostly German beers.  Even a bad German beer (i havent heard of one but there might be a bad german beer) is better than most american beer.   Instant Coffee :rolleyes:

Ouzo.  I almost get sick just smelling it.

If you think Red Bull is bad.... There is a 20-something bar near me that sells a bunch of Red Bull, but they sell even more of this Red Bull knock-off that they have in the bar gun.  They pour shots with that crap all night and the kids drink it up.  Straight it is even worse than Red Bull.

Coffee that is anything but black.

Shortly after starting my job, my boss brought me a coffee to the shop one day. I guess he didnt notice that in the few short weeks that I had been working for him I never drank anything but black coffee.

I think it had sugar and French Vanilla something or other in it. Took a big swig of it...and that swig ended up sprayed out across the shop floor.
