mh (?, not - at least), external help, $, caffeine
So I drink energy drinks. It's a thing. Welcome to enjoying high volumes of caffeine to assist my ADHD meds.
I love coffee, but coffee is hot and bitter(?*). I like my cold carbinated sip.
But also they're REALLY pricy <_< It's nice finding them on sale but they're definitely ~1/5 of my share of groceries every week.
So I try to limit how many I actually drink <_<

So like.
""Coffee is bitter" is something I only really have context for because other people say it? I know I talk about it a lot but actually using words for flavour sensation is almost entirely me remembering what other people say about it rather than understanding how the word applies.
Add to that ADHD making it very easy to mix up words words vs what I mean to say and OH BOY.

Gonna be honest, if you ever talk to me about flavour stuff and I take a while to reply, it's probably because I'm desperately googling to make usre I'm about to say the right word for what I think it is I'm trying to reply to.
Fun fact.
Did you know "Bitter" applies to coffee, red wine, chocolate, kale, ginger AND brussel sprouts?
I didn't. What the fuck even does Bitter mean?!

@Draekos it's one of the four* basic tastes so it's a little difficult to describe. it's usually an unpleasant taste but can improve things when combined with other stuff by making them less of a one-note flavor. many things in nature that are strongly bitter are toxic
if your anosmia just dulls tastes instead of eliminating them entirely, you can probably still experience bitterness by tasting denatonium benzoate, a synthetic compound specifically designed to be as bitter as possible (but still entirely nontoxic) to discourage people and animals from eating things. nintendo switch cartridges are coated in the stuff, hence the trend of people licking them when the system came out
*there are actually five basic tastes known and several others conjectured
