Any time Link drinks a potion, he gags.

red = strawberry
blue = blueberry
green= greenberry :3

>>717138570 (OP)
Red and blue gatorade

For some reason when I was a kid seeing OOT Link drink the potions it seemed to me like they tasted terrible. Guess that comes from the sound effect he does when he drinks it. My mind goes immediately to NyQuil. God I fucking hate NyQuil. I have no idea how people love to get high on that disgusting shit and make lean.

>>717139689
How else do you make them

>they taste heckin' goodarino!
No they don't. They're sold at potion shops and weapon shops, not at pubs and food stalls.

>>717140806
sodas were originally sold in pharmacies as medicine

Because most medication in liquid form does.

health potions taste like blood, or other heavy iron content items.
mana potions taste like putting a 9volt battery in your mouth, maybe a little bit like chewing tin foil.

Salty bags of sandy coin milk.

>>717138570 (OP)
Healing. Realistically though Probably cough syrup but less artificial and more medicinal and natural. A mana potion seems hard to quantify considering lack of magic, but probably an anergy drink that you feel in your soul?

>>717138570 (OP)
Red is that syrupy cherry flavor some medicines have, blue is blue powerade.

>>717139013
Healing items in the Etrian Odyssey games tend to be made from fruit, flowers and honey, which I choose to use as my canon for all healing items.

Red: Beef Jerky
Blue: Chalk

>cough syrup but less artificial and more medicinal and natural
That's why I love slugging picrel but everyone I've ever introduced to it hates it.

Blue mana potion tastes like mouthwash btw.
Estus Flask (technically its own thing) tastes like ginger ale and hot sauce, probably not pleasant.

>>717139013
I don't know about you, but I call that "tea" and it can be very tasty. Add a little honey and it's that much better.
Or if it's foxgirl tea you just drink that straight.

what does it taste like?

>>717138570 (OP)
Red=strawberry, blue=licking a battery.

>>717138570 (OP)

Well, carbonation happens naturally with fermentation. The cold thing would be the only weird part.

>>717149871
It's medieval times, they've probably got a wizard keeping it cool.

Wild Fruit and Cherry

>>717150087
True. I wasn't there, I cant say for sure. Statement withdrawn.

>>717149871
I wasn't sure if a medieval cask beer would have the pressure for carbonation, and I understand that most middle ages beer was drunk flat, but I googled it which led me to a homebrew forum
>Wooden beer kegs were lined with tree pitch to seal them up. Usually they were carbonated at the tavern or beer hall where they were being served. Publicans would put a carbonating charge in the keg through the bung hole, hammer in the bung and let them settle for a week or two before serving.

See this here is a trap. Inkeepers and medieval restaurants in general were notorious for serving up barely cooked spoiled food. I'm not ordering shit. Just give me a room. I'll hunt a rabbit or something along the way.

>>717140625

>>717164529
this is why you just order stew and call it a day
the stew was probably cooking since the morning and it's 100% safe to eat

>>717164697
Ah yeah you're right. Can't really mess up a stew i guess.

>>717139013
if such were the case pill capsules and cough syrup (and by extension lean) wouldn't be a thing

Easy.

>>717139013
You need it to taste sweet, so you can down the entire bottle as fast as possible. If it tastes disgusting, you are not able to chug it properly. These potions are made to be used by adventurers. They are not used for a clinical context.

>>717138570 (OP)
Health potions are liquid meat
Mana potions are cum + blood + snot + liver bile

>>717138570 (OP)
Toothpaste and oranges.
You can only drink one or the other at a time.

"Blue raspberry" isn't a flavor you mind raped mutts. No human being should drink anything that looks like that

The actual canon is that they taste terrible since it's medicine made to heal you and not taste good however some people adulterate the potions to make them more pallatable but also to make more profit. The adulterated potions are less effective due to impurities and sometimes are actually poisonous in the short/long term, sort of like how drug dealers mix low quality ingredients with their substances in order to make more profit.
Adventurers who abuse potions end up with cirrhosis more often than not cause of this

>>717139013
Why would you not try to make medicine taste pleasant and sweet you nigger

>>717139013
because it's fantasy fuck you

health potion taste like that red liquids that sips out of steacks that people mistake for blood.
Mana taste like holy water that stayed in the stone pot for a week.
The colors are artificial ties that color your shit for days

>>717138570 (OP)

>>717139013
Depends what herbs

In some games they're made out of fruits, which honestly sounds delicious, but in some they're made out of leaves.

Depends on your head canon i guess, personally i like to believe they taste very meh but you can add some flavor to it.

So the healing potion you made is gray/colorless, but you added so many fucking strawberries to hide the shit taste, that the whole potion turned red. Same thing with the blue potion.

>>717139013
Because the potion brewer added sweeteners to make it taste better.

Health would be warm and herbaceous with a little licorice. Mana would be tingly and kinda numbs your mouth with a very stringent alcohol flavor/sensation.

Blue tastes like blue raspberry Sprite. I think of magic like something that would have a lot energy behind it and Sprite reminds me of electricity. Don't ask me to explain more.
Red tastes like raspberry but it is super warm and goes down very easily. Imagine like very warm alcohol or beer that also has a sweer flavor to it.

Its both. Some candies like ginger ones were medicinal in their creation, while others were ways of preserving fruit into the winter. There is probably some overlap for preserving medicinal foods .

Thank you Wesley Willis

In The Witcher they canonically taste really bad and are super high in alcohol, so I assume strong liquor with a shitty gas-like flavor profile, like Chinese Baijiu or shoddy moonshine.

But in most RPGs I'd like to think they taste nice. The anon that said blue probably tastes like sprite is on the money.

Health potions are mega spicy and the burning feeling concentrates in your wounds as your flesh regrows and knits together.
Mana potions are so fizzy it numbs your tongue like pop rocks and you quickly feel the fizz in your brain as well replenishing your ability to process magic.
Stamina potions taste like a rush of cool wind that spreads to all your main muscle groups, cooling your body to the point that you generate a mist of condensation around you as you move.
