    I see like 50 mentions and alcohol and energy drinks. I got something different.

    Kombucha.

    Holy shit, it’s like a soda that went off, and I don’t even like soda. It is pungent and awful and I hate that it’s marketed so well. Any time I see it on a shelf I’m like “Ooh, what’s this fancy looking juice? That’s a nice looking bottle. Oh, it’s Kombucha, I would rather drink a cup of foamy dog vomit”

      If you like yogurt it’s not that different. Both are ‘off’ and it’s just the cultural context that you grow up in that teaches which one is acceptable.

      I worked at a natural grocery store in college. I was totally with OP at first, but many a free sample got me into it. If you drink enough of it, you start to enjoy it, much like beer or wine, it’s an acquired taste. There was a time where I was drinking 1/day. Now since I’m not around it all the time, I’ll get it once every few months, but I still enjoy it very much.
