3800 mL 

How'd it go?  

It didn't... Lol.. I refrigerated it and I am currently starting my work shift where I won't have access to anything else but water for awhile so I'ma try to have it down by the end of my shift.. I'm more likely to drink it here  

Thank you, Thank you.. The bottle is actually blue and pink but my drink is orange so it changed it.. kind of neat.. I paid about $14 for it on Amazon. I'm not sure if I'll make it though bc I'm having to baby it due to the amount of ginger in it, it's messing with my Gerd but I'm trying.  

Hey, I won't judge you for dumping this down the drain 😆 Is this the Tik Tok one with ginger, cloves, cinnamon and lemon? 

It's pineapple, cucumber, lemon, and ginger... The cucumber and the ginger is so overpowering.. I drank maybe 8 oz of it and my stomach started feeling bloated. One thing it did do was keep me from snacking bc I felt so full and sick to my stomach I didn't want anything but water. So I poured it down the drain at work and just the smell of it almost made me upchuck.. Now the thought of drinking another sip makes me shiver and gag. 👀👀👀🤢🤢🤢🤢 I guess it's an acquired taste or I need to readjust the solid ingredients and do half pineapple, quarter cucumber, quarter ginger then hit it with lemon juice..  

And the ginger gave me heartburn 

I guess my biggest problem with things is I have a really sensitive pallet so I taste things that most people wouldn't. I'm considered a super taster, meaning I have more taste buds than the average human. It's a gift and a curse bc it has made me an amazing chef but at the same time it's certain things I cannot and absolutely will not eat.. And for some of the stuff I do eat, it can become overwhelming real quickly. Like I love celery but after maybe 2 sticks I'm like I'm over it.. and it's like that with a lot of stuff. And I can't stand certain textures, like pulp, or Lima beans, jello.. It's absolutely horrific to consume.. I'm weird I know but I love my weird..lol 😆 

Use your powers for good 💪 I met a super taster 12 years ago. She said she was also able to imagine textures on her tongue. She worked at General Mills and her job was making junk food more addictive. No lie. I'm a little jealous of your gift, TBH. I love watching Top Chef et al and it escapes me how chefs know which flavors work together. "It needs a hit of acid." "It's cloying." I know you will find a blend you like 🙂 

It's bc we can taste the individual ingredients as well as everything as a unit.. I don't know about the others but as for myself, I can just smell two ingredients individually and combine them in my I guess sinuses to the point where I can actually taste them together. Sometimes you can even taste or smell things that's not even there all bc you're hungry...lol.. Part of the curse of it is, you get tired of certain foods really fast and things start to taste the same so you're constantly seeking flavors thats unique to your pallet..I work in Quality control for a major condiment factory, I want to work in research and development but I think they're afraid they'll be out of a job if they let me in 😂😂 

Oooh, I bet you can distinguish ingredients like Colonel Sanders secret recipe and (more importantly) the seasoning Joe's BBQ in Kansas City uses on their fries. Like Spock says, "Fascinating." 🖖 You definitely have a challenge on your hands. Other people can eat the same boring things week after week and be perfectly happy. Did any of your kids inherit this trait that you can tell? 

I'm not sure just yet about all of them but my oldest two did pass the SuperTaster test but as far as honing their skills or identifying their specialty, we're still figuring that one out. But all of my kids love it in the kitchen.
