I thought I had finally found a healthy drink I liked with no artificial sweetness and they had to go and fuck it up

    Yeah Stevia tastes like poison to me, super bitter.

    Basically all artificial sweeteners taste like either bitter or nothing at all to me. So I’m really angry when I buy a product I’ve been buying for years and it suddenly tastes like a Nintendo Switch cartridge.

    >:(

      Fuck. I know this smell. You just triggered NES and Super Nintendo memories in me. Never played Switch but I’m assuming they’re about the same.

        The switch cartridges have a bitterant added to them since they’re small enough to be a choking hazard. It’s not the smell of the construction material they’re talking about.

          Ah, so not the scent-memories that were triggered in me then. Different Nintendo scents, makes sense.

            I love the smell of electronics! What I’m referencing is indeed the bitter compound they put on Switch cartridges, it tastes really bad and you taste it for a really long time, a stern warning to would-be choking children.
