    My girlfriend-at-the-time’s dirty, dirty ass. Thought it would be like in my fantasies, where it tastes like candyfloss and smells like a Yankee candle. Nope. Shit. Just shit.

    If you’re curious, shit tastes exactly as it smells. I wish I didn’t know that. Although I’m happy that now you, too, know that.

    And she had the nerve to dump me later. I deserve a Nobel peace prize for not recoiling in horror and instead just powering through in silence like a fucking GENTLEMAN.

    On the bright side, it became a great way to ensure future partners were cognisant of the issue. I’d drop it into the usual “what was your ex like?” gossip sessions that come with new relationships. It’s like saying “please wash your various holes if I’m gonna go rooting around in them like an ant-fiending aardvark” without actually saying it. A cautionary fable from days of yore to guide the next generation.

    P.S. I’m still pro-anilingus. Just… clean the fuckin’ thing first. I don’t need to be picking dingleberries from between my teeth, thanks.

    A particular man’s penis. I realized too late that he didn’t routinely clean under his foreskin.

    As a kid I took a swig off my Mom’s Coca Cola. She had been using the can as an ash tray. Puked for five mins and can recall that taste in a second as an adult.

      I used to work in a pet food store and tried a bunch of treat samples we had. They’re not very good if you aren’t a dog or a cat, turns out

      There are posh producers who do 100% freeze dried meat pet food and treats. Even so, probably not something you want or need in your body.

      I’ve tried both wet and dry cat food. The wet food was very bad, but still relatively edible. It was also the one I expected to be good (it was one of those really expensive and premium brands). The dry food, however, tasted exactly like fried anchovies. It wasn’t bad, honestly.

      Edit: I’ve also tried dog cookies. Most of them are bland, because their main ingredient is actually ash. I don’t know how healthy that is. They’re also pretty hard. However, there’s a specific kind that is actually very tasty, and I liked it. It’s way cheaper than actual human cookies, so I still buy them every once in a while, as a treat. I still don’t know if they’re super healthy to eat, but I’ve never felt sick after eating them.

    Actual shit. I was rimming my boyfriend and he had thought he cleaned enough, he was wrong. I immediately threw up washed my mouth out and brushed my teeth. Disgusting, in case I needed to say it.

    Live ants.

    This was 30 years ago. I lived on the second floor of an apartment. I left a half-eaten bag of Little Debbie chocolate donuts on the floor next to my bed. The next night, in a dark room, watching David Letterman, I remembered and reached for the bag. I was three donuts in before I noticed the slightly strange taste, and the ant crawling on my face.

    Ants taste a bit sour and bitter.

      Ooh, manual transmission fluid also stinks - literally. And it tastes how it smells. And it’s oil so now your mouth and face is all oily. Pro-tip: don’t be an idiot like me, just get the harbor freight siphon pump in the first place

    Malort

    Tastes like turpentine and grapefruit juice. The former I’ve actually tried accidentally… dipped my paint brush in my cup of water and took a swig of the other cup. Somehow, the malort was worse. Learned recently that they make a barrel aged version that they claim is

    dare we say, sippable

    We do not.

      Somehow a friend of mine was convinced to try it, and now insists on taking shots of it every night out.

      At least the taglines are accurate:

      Malort: turning taste-buds into taste-foes for generations!

      Malort: tonight’s the night you fight your dad!

      Malort: these pants aren’t going to shit themselves!

      Malort: the Gary, Indiana of liquor!

      The grapefruit reference is accurate. I’d describe it as floor varnish thinner mixed with hyper-concentrated grapefruit rind. The interesting thing is the way it doesn’t actually smell that bad, but then it starts terrible and gets worse after a few seconds. I’m convinced there’s some interesting chemistry going on in there where it degrades into other chemicals as it oxidizes in your mouth.

      The only remotely comparable flavor I’ve ever had is…

      …Unicum, which tastes like a cedar chest smells, and I was more than a little afraid would make me go blind.

      0/10 for both, would absolutely recommend if you want someone to establish a baseline for “absolute worst-tasting thing ever deliberately consumed that is technically meant to be consumed.”

        Good God unicum is horrible.

        Also Stroh80 is a good contender for worst drink. It tastes like kinder garten glue smells, and it lingers for the rest of the evening. I only took a sip while a friend of mine took a whole shot, and he said the whole evening every time he burped the taste came back

      At uni, the go-to liquor at our events was made from malört and we would have shots of it served up. The taste is awful and it sticks in your mouth, I hated every single one but I have never passed it up either.

      I am one of like less than 2% of the population that actually likes it.

      To me, it just tastes like a gin that’s more…dirty? I dunno how else to describe it, but just more “dirty” pine. I actually enjoy it. 🤷‍♂️

        I’m utterly convinced everyone just says malort is gross for the bit. It’s not that bad. There are other bizarre tasting liquors that don’t get the same rep. I’ve had it and, while not great, didn’t really live up to the vomit inducing reputation.

    Maggots. I’ve been chasing the high ever since. They were hiding in a pineapple flavored Swiss roll. I thought the maggots were coconut flakes at first. Pina colada is a good flavor. The maggots popping like boba didn’t set any alarm bells off. It was better than the usual coconut crunch. The maggots wriggling against my gums and tongue didn’t set any alarm bells off. It was the only time I ever chewed something that felt carbonated. The lone maggot crawling across my couch away from certain doom finally clued me in. Half of his platoon just got eaten and the other half was without a doubt up next.

    The same thing happened to my mom at some point when she was a kid. For her it was an Almond Joy or Mounds, which let the maggots blend in even better. Is it a once in a lifetime thing everybody experiences or a generational curse? I feel cursed with the knowledge that maggots in the right context taste like the fuckin’ future.

        I felt a little unwell but didn’t throw up. I was more worried about any health problems you could get from eating maggots. I calmed my nerves knowing that maggots are used on gangrenous flesh and won’t eat living flesh. Felt kinda bad throwing the remaining half out though.

      So one time when I was in grade school I was like really into eating lots of boxes of raisins and everybody in the school gave me the raisins so they could watch me eat a bunch of raisins cuz we were like little kids and you know we’re stupid or whatever and I remember I was dumping each box one at a time onto my plate. Each one another set of raisins and I was getting picked to eat them and then when I dumped one box it came on a plate and it was maggots everywhere. Everybody was horrified because the realization sank on us. Every time you would turn a box of raisins just straight up in into your mouth. You might have accidentally eaten at magus. Some kids decided to try and capitalize and change my nickname to maggot man. But it didn’t really stick because honestly I was weird for a whole lot of other reasons and maggot man was like not really my fault anyway. So it wasn’t a big deal for me.

    A Zataran’s Cajun chicken Alfredo freezer meal…that had been in the un-freezable, non-refrigerated cabinet two weeks.

    My wife…gods bless her, was trying to feed me dinner…and found that in the cabinet… after having put it there during our last grocery stock up, not realizing it required freezing. In her defense, it was a grocery order and the item was not something we ordered, so she didn’t know the particulars of it, and it wasn’t cold upon arrival.

    After microwaving, she brings me the plate and a fork and I notice the smell is…unique, but me being hungry and not overly picky though “meh…Cajun seasoning…I guess” so i stir the sauce into the noodles and then lick the fork, as one does, preparing to consume.

    The weirdest part, is it was fucking sour. Not sour like spoiled, sour like a million warheads sour. I stopped… looked at the stuff, looked at my wife and shuddered. “This is weird…why is it sour?” I said…still not dawning on me that my wife would attempt to poison me so obviously. She disappears and I sit there, with the offending offering on the table in front of me. “Am I brave enough to eat this? I don’t like wasting food…” goes through my head at about the same time as my wife, pale faced and trembling, rushes in and grabs it hollering “don’t eat that! It was supposed to be frozen!”

    An oyster

    The town I grew up in is famous for them, we even learned about them in school but I’d never tried one

    Finally decided to just before I moved away for university and eugh, salty mucus-y blob, had to spit it out again, poor lil guy
