the really small thin allergy pills that you take one at a time and if you leave them in your mouth for more than just a couple seconds they dissolve really, really fast and taste so terrible...

Forget what they put in it to keep you from drinking it, but I tasted it once just to see. Bad thing.

Isopropyl alcohol isn't denatured, why the f*ck did you drink rubbing alcohol?

I didn't say I drank it, I said I tasted it, same for Sterno.

Ever tasted cologne or perfume right out of the bottle? Bad things!
 
I was given Lidocaine Hydrochloride oral topical solution once. So very horrible. I can't imagine many medicines being worse.

I imagine it would be bad.
 
When I was quite young (5-6) I was given some sort of medication at the doctor's office that was banana flavored.
That made me gag and cough, one of the nurses felt bad for me and offered a sip of her Dr Pepper.
I drank a sip and then promptly puked it all up on the floor. 🙁
 
Imitrex. Take the pill, the nasal spray - either way, your mouth tastes like chalk for the next 24 hours. Well, I assume that's what chalk would taste like.

Lidocaine is so viscous that trying to swish it in my mouth caused me to vomit. Doctor recommended I swallow the lidocane, and i told him "fxck no" and spit it out and dealt with the pain.
 
"666 Cold Preparation With Quinine"!

Yes - Yes, the name fits the taste! It was like drinking satans ass juice laced with rat poison! Seriously, it's hard to describe the taste as the thin yellow liquid hits your tongue and explodes with the most vile and bitter taste you've ever experienced. The aftertaste lasts forever.

We used to have to take it when i was younger (early to mid 90's) and wanted to stay home from school because i was sick. I think i've taken it two or three times in my life. It's horrible and i don't even understand how anyone would even put such a thing on their shelf for sell, especially something thats to be consumed.


Here's a few pics. I couldn't find any pictures of the one with quinine but it looks similar to what i can remember.
