People Are Sharing Drinks They Think People Only "Pretend" To Like, And I Am Truly Shocked

    "I can't understand the people who say they enjoy the taste of any type of alcohol."

    Recently, Reddit user u/DeplorableKurt asked, "What’s a beverage you're sure everyone just pretends tastes good?"

    The responses were hilarious — but, also, divisive. Here's what people said.

    1. "Coconut water."

    8. "Gin. To me, it tastes like after shave."

    —u/Raging_chihuahua

    9. "Jägermeister."

    —u/TheDirtSyndicate

    "Alcohol in general. On a number of occasions, I've heard people say a drink tastes just like apple pie or cotton candy, when in reality, it tastes like you maybe took a bite of those things and then spat it out and poured pure alcohol in your mouth. It maybe helps get the alcohol down, but I can't understand the people who say they enjoy the taste of any type of alcohol."

    12. "V8 vegetable juice."

    —u/astonishingly_gud

    "Who in their right mind wants a cup of what tastes like watery Chef Boyardee sauce to go with their meal? How does that not make you more thirsty than before?"

    —u/Strawberrythirty

    13. "Beverly. But I don't think anybody drinks it because they like it. I think they drink it because they consider it medicinal. It's basically carbonated quinine water!"

    14. "Hot chocolate. It's really just chocolate soup."

    Hot chocolate

    15. "Spirulina green drinks. I had one because I kept hearing how healthy they are. Later, I was projectile vomiting. I'll never drink them willingly again."

    —u/CrunchyTeatime

    16. "Dasani water."

    —u/Soil_Think

    17. "Anything that uses artificial sweetener. The stuff is rancid, and everyone tells me they can't taste the difference when the stuff has this bitter aftertaste and doesn't taste even close to sugar."
