When I was a kid of about 3-4 I asked my mom if I could have a glass of milk. She said yes and I went to the kitchen and found a measuring cup full of white liquid that I drank as I was quite parched. I assumed all the glasses were dirty so she put the milk in a measuring cup for me. It turned out to be liquid floor wax. A while later she went to finish waxing the floor and couldn't figure out what happened to the wax. She put two and two together and called the doctor. He told her it was not particularly dangerous but to keep an eye on me. Obviously I survived or I would not be writing this.

Few days before I was so focused on writing a poem that I forgot everything around me. That is what I'm like. I forget my surroundings totally when I'm doing something for which I have passion and which I like to do. I was so focused that I forgot that I drank the soy sauce instead of my coca cola. by the way soy sauce is my favorite sauce and I was keeping it with my snacks. I didn't even realized till I looked at the bottle. That day I realized I not alert at all when I do something I'm very focused on. It is good also and very bad too.

One time when I was a kid, I went to get a glass of soda and it turned out to not be soda.
There was a Sunkist bottle filled with beer in the fridge and I poured myself a full glass. I spit it out immediately, it was so disgusting. And y'know, I thought the color looked a little off, but I thought Sunkist was just trying out a new concoction for their sodas or something. 😂

Went to drink some apple juice and it was damn nasty ass beer instead. It's how my dad decided to hide his beers from my mom. I was so disappointed. And people wonder why I smell everything before eating or drinking.

crmoore · Answer

Yes. And for whatever reason is makes whatever in drinking taste bad even if I normally drink it.

Like I've done it with water thinking is was milk, and vice versa, and my brain did not like it at all either way, lol. And I love both water and milk.

I was at a party, there was a game where you were blindfolded and had to guess the drink you were offered,,,
It was slightly warm, silky smooth, slightly salty and bitter, I sussed it as artificial semen, well practically speaking there was no way of getting a full glass of real cum like that so played the game and drank it all,,,
I said it was really tasty, playing the game as it were, faking that I had no idea what it was supposed to be lol,,,
