    I think I have a mutation in a taste bud or something, but Sucralose is really a prominent and nasty taste to me in anything it’s in. Really frustrating to taste it in otherwise sugary drinks, like some of the Monster flavors.

    For reference, I also think cilantro tastes like soap. No clue if that’s an indicator or not.

        It’s very distinct. I wouldn’t call it vomit, but it’s a lingering chemical-ey taste.

          yes exactly! in another comment i described it as a sweetened and carbonated bathroom potion made by a 6 year old. i shorthand that taste to vomit because it reminds me of how doing that little puke into your mouth after a big meal feels like…
