    pepsi max genuinely makes me want to vomit. i once only had the option to take a pepsi max at a KFC, took a few sips and felt so disgusted i didn’t even want to eat anymore. threw it out, packed my food, and went to buy a coke on the way home

    are my taste buds broken? or do people really like the flavour of what i can only describe as a 6 year old’s bathroom potion of various chemicals, died black, sweetened, and carbonated

      I recently discovered that there is a similar taste reaction to aspartame than there is to cilantro. It doesn’t taste like soap, but it tastes awful to some people. I can’t drink any sugar-free or diet drinks as they all taste horrific to me
