I'll never understand how people drink this axe spray flavored toxic piss. They all taste like what I imagine chemical runoff tastes like.

[–] Drekaridill@lemmy.wtf 36 points 3 days ago

You can pry the chemical piss from my dead hands, which should be soon because I drink chemical piss

Don't think beverage, think drug.

Don’t think beverage,

chug beverage

Yup. Taurine for pep. Same reason they put it in cheap dog food.

I don't know about dogs but cats can't synthesize their own taurine, kind of like humans can't synthesize vitamin C, so their food has to be enriched in it.

Speak for yourself

Ikr, both sugar and cocaine activate the exact same dopaminic pathways in your brain, it floods the nucleus accumbens with signals of intense pleasure and satisfaction, creating a long term addiction, but only one is legal.

Cocaine has some additional interactions with the body that one might consider fairly pivotal.

I have never once heard anyone describe the scent of cocaine.

It's the white can. It's sugar free but definitely does something for my ADHD

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 1 points 3 days ago

It has other kinds of sugars in it, like inositol. Not to mention the caffiene.

I really like the taste, I wish I could get something with it that wasn't an energy drink and with a lot less sugar (light/sugar sugarfree anything makes me feel sick so that's not an option).

I dont like the normal energy drinks, they indeed taste like piss, but oh my gawd all these fucking sour apple guava fruit punched in my face shit tastes great 😭 please Lemmy, give me an alternative

People come to like what they consume regularly. People's insecure clinging to dietary preferences is so short sighted, pointless, and harmful.

[–] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

I buy energy drinks once in a blue moon, and they taste like nothing else. Chastising people for their taste preference is short sighted, pointless, harmful, and stupid.

[–] SalamenceFury@piefed.social 2 points 2 days ago

White Monster at least tastes pleasantly citric to me. Everything else is kinda ass.

I understand it. That piss is good! They come in sugar-free varieties and the caffeine content is less than that of a large mug of coffee. I will never see a breakfast consisting of orange juice and coffee among other things as being better for you.
