What do you think health potions taste like?

[TraumaHound]

Back in the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons days (AD&D) our healing potions had a syrupy-sweet taste and were golden and slightly bubbly with a flowery aroma.

This very descriptive bit was how a character managed to, in a moment of near-death desperation, rapidly down what amounted to bubble bath and had to make a save versus poison (which, while we were all laughing at his self-induced plight, he managed to make.)

That new red NyQuil, cherry flavored.

 

[CouchCommando]

water melon

 

[Wakefield]

I always imagined it to taste like cherry.

 

[TheTygerfire]

Cherry cough medicine.

 

[Tharticus]

It would have that disgusting vibe.

 

[War Penguin]

I always thought it tasted like orange juice left out in the sun for a day.
... Ew.

 

[crudus]

The taste is the sound of one hand clapping.

What would happen if someone was allergic to one?

(I imagine the taste is likable since they chug it so quickly, maybe strawberry)

 

[Commodore Hotpants]

Like raspberry cough syrup with a dash of vodka.

 

[Kimarous]

Buckley's

"It tastes awful. And it works."

I'll go with transmission fluid for health potions and ink for mana potions.

dog piss

 

[RatRace123]

Hawaiian Punch, since they're usually red. And now I want some Hawaiian Punch.

 

[Pinstar]

A Halls vapor action lozenge, liquefied.

 

[ChromeAlchemist]

Calpol.

 

[Puzzles]

Berries, with a hint of red bull.

 

[Sewblon]

Red Slurpee.
