That's like Perfume on crack. I'm not sure whether or not I like it, though.

I'll watch it again in the morning. It took me three tries before I saw it all the way through due to my family interrupting, so I'll give it another chance when I'm not as put out.

You will never be certain as to whether or not you truly like it; all you will know is that it's really fucking addictive.

Have you TASTED pine? It's not too bad until it oxidizes, but when it does, it tastes awful. I'd imagine the tea gets pretty bitter.

Basically, you're telling a recovering alcoholic where to buy the cheapest aftershave.

I find this humorous, actually. :J

Taste is relative, you drink nothing but soda for a year and water isn't going to taste so good.

Alternatively stop drinking soda after drinking about 1 liter a day for over 10 years and when you finally go back after a few months it tastes like crap. You just have to substitute something else for the caffeine or put up with feeling like crap for about a month.

Yes, but then you have to consider that eating tar off the street for a year doesn't actually make it good.

Pine actually does taste pretty good when absolutely untouched by the air, but afterward, it just plain tastes like shit and I already prefer strong coffee.

I think this calls for a Coffee vs. Tea poll!

Oh Christ.

I wonder how it will take before that degenerates into a 'country vs. country' debate...

[Arhra]

Wait a moment, are you saying coffee drinkers actually have a level of societal organisation beyond degenerate savagery?

Wow, you learn something new every day here.

Hmm, seeing I drink about three cups of tea a day, I should probably say that as my addiction.

[Whomper]

...whoa. I didn't think people would get so snarky over a coffee vs. tea poll. (I thought we had risen above that?) Personally I drink both, so whatever.

Let's go back to watching the girls dance.

Tar tastes bad because it's essentially recognized as a toxin, there's also a big connection with chemical composition of a food and how your body recognizes the taste, chocolate, booze, cigs, ect. taste better when your body adapts an understanding of their effects.

Oh, and I studied culinary arts for 2 years when I thought I wanted to be a chef.
