Eat pickled eggs and sardines with it to be healthy. Pour the sardine oil over your squashes. And always finish your lunch with four cigarettes and a healthy two hour nap.

Brown sugar lemonade is loving to die for. Is that what brown lemonade is? It's a farm staple here in Texas.

"Lemonade" in the UK means sprite.

Adding a half-teaspoon or so of aged balsamic vinegar to a quart pitcher of lemonade is also great.

You can put rainbow sprinkles in Kraft mac and that's not okay but it looks fabulous. Tastes like sugary feet.

Some Irish poo poo, there's a few Irish and scottish drinks on there

Edit: Actually, it occurs to me that both Ireland and Scotland seem chock-a-block with wan orange soft drinks that nobody can describe the flavor of, I'm just gonna guess they taste like sugar
Irn-Bru tastes like bubblegum, but (because there seems to be a long-standing controversy about this) it's a quite specific kind of bubblegum. I'm from Europe and I immediately recognized it, but the classic American "bubble gum" flavour is different. Also yes sugar indeed.

what's truly indescribable at least to Europeans is root beer, you can only say it tastes like root beer, there's like no frame of reference and most people think it's vile.

There's actually a couple flavors of root beer out there that are only vaguely similar. And then there's this Australian stuff that is overpriced and uses licorice root as a flavoring, which is definitely not normal, even though that is a root.



I like this explanation for root beer, where they're complaining about how sweet it is and it's just, you motherfucker, you just literally drank a glass of corn syrup before drinking that.

Does that mean it tastes just like Big Red then?

One of the drinks in the list I posted earlier is Sarsaparilla, which is apparently very close to root beer. There's a few other brands of root beer here too. I most often see them in trendy coffee shops but I've only tried one and it wasn't good. The smell reminded me a bit of Germoline antiseptic cream.

Irn Bru is impossible to pin down because there's no point of reference. It's kind of like trying to describe the flavour of a banana to someone who has never eaten one. It doesn't remind me of any type of bubblegum I've tried. We have bubblegum flavoured soda and it's completely different.

I'd go with vaguely citrus but different from the citrus taste of drinks that use fruit juice, mixed with a slightly metallic flavour and something vaguely floral. I find it hard to remember the taste even though I had some a few weeks ago. This happens every time until the next time I drink some; then it comes back and I remember that I don't really like it that much.

I've had very nice root beer and stuff that tastes absolutely horrible, like licking the runoff from a chemical factory.

I also really like cream soda which is hard to get nice vesions of over here, again it tastes really synthetic.

E: yeah germolene is what it sometimes smells and tastes like, weird. But sometimes it's nice and warm tasting.

Root Beer is good; Irn Bru is good. I don't drink sugary drinks though because I don't need to get any fatter than I already am. Irn Bru has a vague fruity flavor which reminds me of sweet tarts or bubblegum. It probably contains some combination of citric acid and isoamyl acetate.

Nah we don't use the flavoring (safrole) in any toothpastes or medicines typically in the USA. I've shared root beer with many German nationals and they have immediately likened the taste to medicine, since I think there are medicines that use similar flavorings over there.

EDIT: nevermind; safrole hasn't been used since the 60's, see post below mine

I mentioned Germoline antiseptic cream in my description of root beer. Googling tells me that wintergreen is also an ingredient in that. Also that pink stuff to rinse your mouth out at the dentist.

I couldn't think of any specific medicine, but it's a perfectly obvious association.

On the other hand, Wintergreen flavouring isn't really common over here at all, at least in regular over-the-counter stuff. Imagine my surprise when I went to the US and innocently brushed my teeth with the hotel toothpaste. If you went to Germany and used the local toothpaste and it turned out to taste of beer you'd be like what the gently caress

I don't know how she does it, but I swear my roommate will use every pot, pan, utensil, knife, and cutting board when she cooks, to the point where it's as if she somehow produces additional phantom pans, that cease to exist as soon as they're loaded into the dishwasher.

I'm quite fastidious about cleaning up as I cook, using downtime to wipe down surfaces or wash whatever's accumulated in the sink, and I do things like reuse stirring spoons or other implements as much as possible. I collect all my trimmings and cuttings in a bowl. By the time I'm serving the meal, I'd say 70% of the dishes are washed and the only things that need to be done after are the plates and cutlery we ate with and whatever the food was served in.

My girlfriend, on the other hand, manages to use more wooden spoons than there are things to stir, things nothing of leaving cracked eggshells to leak onto the countertop and generally leaves the kitchen looking like a whirlwind passed through. Seeing as our general rule is 'if you cook you don't do the dishes' this contributes to me wanting to cook most nights of the week.

Your girlfriend is a goddamn genius.

E: I wasn't clear. I love to clean. Love it. Can't get enough of it. I especially love to clean when someone I'm cleaning for knows how to minimize mess. If someone would cook clean and make good food? OMG I would never cook again. I love to cook but wow it's great when literally anyone else does it.
