basically, I have to drink this disgusting Korean herb medicine thing three times a day, every day and it tastes ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING

so, I was wondering if there was an easier way to choke down things that taste bad

I already tried the blocking your nose while drinking, but that had no effect

I don't want to try diluting it with water because that makes the amount that I have to drink even larger

and I tried adding honey and sugar but it just tasted even worse

;_; any suggestions?

right now, I just alternate between long sips and a handful of cereal =_=;

Um, how about drinking it really really fast and hope you don't puke it back out? xD

Have you seen super junior exploring the human body?
In the first episode, they show how drying your tongue can temporarily disable your taste buds so that you can't taste anything.

I would try to chug it down as fast as possible not not so fast that you'll end up dripping.
Or take long drinks and eat something very sweet or gum to take the bitter taste out of your mouth.
good luck.

[bonbons]

yea chug it down reallllly fast. I do it while i hold my nose lol does a little to improve the taste of asian medicine rofl. my mom made me this herbal thing from china and it was all sour and gross, made me gag @@;

[safelittlethoughts]

omg i know how you feel. my aunt gave me stick REALLY sticky tea thingy and it tastes SO bad. i had to drink it for a whole week for at least 2 times a day. =X
i closed my nose and chugged it down and washed it down with water. =D
i felt like i was in Fear Factor or something.

[loveamii]

umm.. you chug it first

or swallow as much as you can without it really touching your tongue?
and then drinking A LOT of water
and then..
eat something that's really strong in taste so you wont taste the medicine anymore?

I don't see how plugging your nose won't work. It completely removes your taste senses. Try plugging it, then gulping down as much water or flavor fluids such as juice. It should override the flavor.

I don't see how plugging your nose won't work. It completely removes your taste senses.

You could try drinking milk right after you take the medicine.

[jiwoneex3]

yeh,
you shouldn't be able to taste if you held your nose.
when i always eat medicine and such, i hold my nose, chug it down, and eat a few chips to get rid of the taste.
:)works like a charm

[x. suki]

i drink it really fast & then eat some candy XD
usually butterscotch candy muhaha =]

[Jamila]

uhhh my mom was making me drink homemade carrot juice..with some other veggies...it wasn't all that bad..but I don't really like it..lol
I try to take about 4 or 5 gulps...eating some pretzel after each gulp..then drinking water when I finish lol

[r-obotix]

Lol, what i do is drink soda or juice first.
Then move your whole face left and right and swallow it.
Then drink the thingy and drink some more soda afterwards xDD

[rufflezz]

I usually chug it down, especially when it comes to those kind of medicine drinks.

[jeffword]

I usually have something, anything, to drink right afterwards
so it'll make the taste less worse.

I use water most, if not all the time. x]

[CASUAL LUXURY]

lol! my mom makes me drink those herbal medicines and soups someitmes too. it's horriable!
but this is how i do it. i just take a deep breath, and then swallow the whole thing in one breath, or two. >_<;
after finishing, i drink a cup of water to wash the taste off my mouth. and if that's not enough i go goggle my mouth with listerine. hahahah. xD

[`faded]

hahaha it's like those chinese medicine..o_O well for me I'm used to drinking those medicine..so I just drink as quickly as possible..that's about it..

[asianx3]

Chug it like you're in a beer fest & then chase it down with vodka or juice hehe.

[helenmelon]

yeah, I would just drink it as fast as I can. That way you can get it over with and not taste it as much when you drink it verrrrry slowly. i feel like i taste it more when I drink stuff like that slowly.

[Angxizzle]

drink it really fast and think about something esle? oh yeah and drink something or eat something afterwords to get rid of the taste a little.
