You were, in fact, tasting the salt. The prevailing theory is once the blood hits the lungs, the extra molecules end up out in your lungs and you exhale them, causing you to taste it. I’m not sure I vibe with that theory. But I’m no scientist. I’d wager, though, that the blood passing the mucus membranes in your nose and throat causes the taste. But apparently even the medical establishment hasn’t figured this out yet.

I’m judging you only for liking banana flavored anything. Banana are great. Banana flavoring, not so much.
IV drug use
I’m an ex IV drug user. It’s been years so I may not remember the order. But when you inject (at least in the arm) you feel it in your stomach, then throat, then brain. You’ll get a lil queasy feeling, then you’ll taste something in the back of your mouth. Sometimes it’s the drug, sometimes it’s just metallic or weird. But you notice it. And then the hit… Hits. It’s fucking fascinating. Injecting molly is like boarding a rocket ship, and those little feelings gave you a rhythm. Push > stomach - hand the needle off (for safety, you don’t have time to cap and store that thing) > throat - lay down > head - congrats you’re rolling face in 10 seconds flat and in about a minute or two you can probably open your eyes without throwing up.

So you’re saying that when I drink monster energy and my pee smells funny, it’s because there was literally monster energy in my veins? Would my blood smell like coffee, too, if I bled after drinking coffee?
I worked at an office, think call center full of 20 somethings. We had one kid who was nice and all but he always smelled like cat piss. To the point where he got the nickname catpiss. It turned out later that he was stuck living with his mother, who was a hoarder of things and cats, and there was nowhere for him to escape the smell. He moved out as soon as he could and stopped smelling like cat piss. We all rightfully felt like assholes.
Anyway here’s your friendly reminder to be kind.
Wait really? My work truck uses Samsara, and it alerts me for not paying attention while I’m looking at the road at least once a week.
3·3 months agoFrom what I understand, most dishwasher soap is enzymatic and so the little bits you’d be rinsing off actually help activate the soap and clean better. So it’s actually detrimental to rinse. So I’ve heard, anyway.
Yes! It’s pretty interesting. I would definitely try an “old” banana but suspect I wouldn’t like them much.
