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?!

anosmia and flavour words 

what the fuck EGGPLANT is bitter according to this website?

What?

I... I can kinda see the overlap of bitter between coffee, red wine and chocolate. it's a weird venn diagram.

But EGGPLANT?!

I... I don't undetstand how eggplant shares any flavour similaries with ginger or coffee.

re: anosmia and flavour words 

@Draekos it might be worth noting that only the darker dark chocolates have a significant bitterness to their taste, milk chocolate masks the bitterness of cocoa with lots of sugar

re: anosmia and flavour words 

@Felthry yeah I was assuming they meant dark chocolate since that starts tasting like dusty coffee once it gets pure enough?

Follow

re: anosmia and flavour words 

@Draekos yeah definitely

i don't remember what eggplant tastes like so i can't speak to whether that's very bitter or not, i just remember we don't like it
