You don't want medicine to taste too good. Otherwise it's delicious enough to take too much and possibly overdose.

I remember several years ago a doughnut shop in, I think LA, had to stop serving their most popular doughnut ever because it was a Pepto Bismol doughnut and some government agency (FDA IIRC) said you can't sell medicine as food.
What always got me was that it was so popular. Pepto Bismol is gross AF.
You don't like mint + bismuth?
Well, we can't be friends now!
Pepto is the best tasting medicine I know of.
I believe that was voodoo doughnuts on Oregon
Portland, VooDoo doughnuts. They had a couple that were supposed to be "hangover cures"
You had me until the very last sentence.
Now orange flavored chicken, that comes with a side of chow mein, from a good asian restaurant. Tastes like...
wow! did you randomly have the perfect picture for this or did you make this just for that comment?
I did an image search for "holy delicious orange chicken". Nothing to my liking came up, with a few biblical off images results. Then I tried "chicken jesus", and whamo!

Whatever happened to him?
iirc he's just doing other stuff
I can't be the only one that hates orange flavored soda.
Think you might
Love it or hate it, it’s the same flavor.
I dislike pretty much orange anything other than actual oranges. Even then, I prefer the smaller varieties.
My family hates grape flavored things because it doesn't taste like grape
how many kinds have you tried? 2?
they're all different to varying degrees, some are too sweet, some aren't orange-y enough, some just taste like industrial chemicals
I hate oranges in general, and by extension, anything that is orange flavored or scented. I'm assuming I'm not alone in that (though it usually soaks a lot of confusion with people that I meet).
One time we took a boat trip out in a harbor on Long Island Sound that was dominated by a giant Pfizer plant. The entire area smelled like burnt orange cough syrup.
There was this weird orangey, strawberry-ish aroma used in a paracetamol (Tylenol for the yanks) syrup for children. I hated this stuff so much as a child that I spit it to the ceiling in our kitchen once. Today, when I only smell anything remotely similar, I have to force down a gag.
The face we all make when drinking orange DayQuil, though. It’s not even truly orange flavor.
What about orange flavor in Pringles?
But I like it...
The fact that this is so true like is this even a meme anymore LMAO
Flavor. Flavour. Flavor. Flavour.
Pringles guy becomes uncanny
It could be worse have you tried pink tonics ?
