Gave my Guy Who Sucks Coworker a liquid IV packet recently bc he was talking abt needing a lot of hydration and said he hadn't enjoyed the texture of it the last time he tried it and I was like bruh it's the texture of water just shake it more. And so I gave him one of mine to try again so he didn't have to buy a full pack and he ended up liking it. Bc if you stir it properly it dissolves properly. Because it's fuckin sodium. Isn't that something . Anyway
So he recently asked me if I'd tried another of their flavors (firecracker popsicle) and I was like no I'm pretty content with the lemon lime. So he comes back a few days later and was like you shared yours w me so here's this flavor to try. Which is like. Sweet of him but also I knew I wouldn't like that flavor which is why I hadn't tried it. And now I feel obligated to drink this thing I know I won't enjoy
So I tried it this morning and it's So Flavor. Genuinely I can't describe what it feels like to drink this thing. It smells SO strongly of a popsicle but then its actual taste is so indecipherable. It kind of does taste like popsicle, to be fair, but there's a hint of something truly indescribable. Not in a good way. Just ineffable in its qualities. I want to be disgusted by it, my initial instinctual response is disgust, likely in reaction to the popsicle essence, but it's such an unquantifiable flavor that I actually can't put a finger on how I feel about it, which disturbs me far more than a definably bad flavor could.
