What do they taste like? Pfft, I bought a 6 pack of em before I went to blizzcon, but being I only wanted to bring 5 (since at the time health and mana pots could only be put in stacks of 5) I decided to drink one.....never....ever....again
Allow me to describe the experience for you.
Phase 1) Horrible, gag me with a flipping spoon taste, stupidly I chug the rest of the tiny shot bottle only to scientifically discover; "Yep, this shit makes me want to puke". Thus begins the cleansing of the taste buds
Phase 2) About 5 minutes or so after downing the horrific concoction I begin to sweat profusely, become short of breath, a fiery pain in my stomach, find myself with a very scary increase in heart rate, and my skin begins to crawl as my body shivers uncontrollably.
Phase 3)At this point I realize "Oh shit, the health potion is causing me bodily harm"(ironic ain't it), so I make my way down the hall to my pharmacist mother and inform her of these sudden symptoms. Its a slightly happy day as I'm informed by her that I'm suffering from a somewhat violent allergic reaction to some chemical ingredient in the drink, and that it had not been laced with arsenic by ninjas.
Phase 4) The remedy formed is to crush up a benedryl tablet (apparently its pure anti-histamines or something) and mix it with water for the fastest effect. Fast forward a week later and a visit to a physician and apparently I am allergic to the main chemical ingredient used in concentrated energy drinks, no its not caffeine some other BS natural ingredient that mimics caffeine and is more effective. How natural it is with a name so long even the doctor had trouble pronouncing it correctly leaves me to wonder.
To sum up my experience, being that the health pot was my first energy drink it will be my last as I don't feel like experiencing a repeat performance...I'll stick with Mt Dew thank you.
So what's a health potion taste like? Like ass mixed in with burnt donkey shit and passed through the liquidation machine from hell's half acre, and to top it off if you've won the genetic lottery it could kill ya too.
--EDIT--
By the way, I'm not making this up this is
a real energy drink
