Ask Lemmy

When I was like 8, I was playing with my remote control car, one with a battery pack you had to unplug from the car and use a special charger in the wall. After I recharged it, and was getting ready to drive it around, i noticed I had what I thought was leftover chocolate on my finger. I licked the drop off my finger and immediately realized it was battery acid or some residue from the battery, it was the worst taste ever.

Nah, this is the internet.

Liver. Onions were fine, but what kinda sicko likes to eat liver? ~~Just knowing it's where urine is filtered turns me off, but I was made to eat it as a kid before I learned that.~~ Man, my brain is turning to shit as I age.

Probably dextromethorphan powder, it's absolutely disgusting, sulbutiamine powder is pretty bad too

I once had some papa john's pizza, never again.

Prolly a spider that had crawled into my fountain drink straw or viewed another way when I vomited up a metronidazole pill that I had worked very very hard to swallow without tasting and immediately vomited again as a result. If you're unfamiliar it's the antibiotic pill that makes you taste metal.

Crushed up amoxicillin tablets.

I refused the liquid because it made me gag but I couldn’t swallow pills yet. Tried putting it in any and everything to hide the taste but it still made its way through. Made me hate eggnog for a long time, too.

Cauliflower. Just thinking about it to make this comment made me dry heave.

Duck tounge. Ice cold duck tounge.

Oh! This happened last week. It was a mocktail featuring iced matcha and espresso foam. It reminded me of the most disgusting thing that's ever gone into my mouth by accident.

Paint.

Orange to be precise.

When I was a kid, a friend of mine hosted a birthday party on a paintball range. We played for I don't know how long, large group of us, was really fun.

One thing the instructors told us, keep your mouth shut.

You see, we wore face masks, however for us to breathe of course there's a grill where you mouth goes.

Needless to say, I got shot right on that mouth grill, and naturally due to the shock of it I opened my mouth...

The paintball burst on the grill, and I had the whole volume of paint launched deep into my throat.

It was so... ungodly... salty. For the rest of the day all I could taste was salt (the blow occured around early afternoon). And that's coming from someone who also on another unrelated occassion ended up with a deep mouthful of sea water.

Salted chips without the chip. I was mindlessly eating some chips from the bag and suddenly there was this intense salt flavour quickly overpowered by way too much rotten oil flavour. When I spit it out, it looked like a clump of deep fried salt.

I dint know if the most disgusting, but the biggest delta between expectation and reality was root beer.

Expected something vanilly or maybe gingery, got mouthwash. I genuinely spit the first sip.

Cambozola. The descriptions I've read about it are entirely unlike the one I tried. It was intensely foul.

Jelly while on a trip in the UK. There was solid stuff inside that looked and tasted like vomit.

Scallops

Muttonbird.

It's an acquired taste, but one I didn't acquire. Preserved shearwater chick, mmm.

I live in Scotland now, where there's a similar delicacy, guga. I have not tried it. I think you have to live on the Isle of Lewis for a shot at eating it

A sip of one of those bottles with a snake on really strong liquor. The moment it hit my tongue I knew I fucked up. Tasted like death and I had to run to the toilet because I had to instantly throw up. Was nauseous for an hour after. 0/10 experience would not recommend. I knew I should have known I fucked up when the owner of said bottle looked absolutely mortified when I took the sip haha.

hair, sand, all sorts of medicines without capsules, fish bones, this flavor will stay with me for a long time🤢

A Jatz biscuit from a packet that was swarming with ants.
