>>717138570 (OP)
Coolaid without enough sugar

Why would a a concoction of various medicinal herbs taste pleasant and sweet

>>717139013
candy literally comes from people trying to make medicine taste good and then people just kept eating it without the medicine as a treat

>>717138570 (OP)
Red: Hot
Blue: Tingly
Bonus Green: Bitter

>>717138570 (OP)
Red: syrup
Blue: mouthwash
Green: mint

Health potion: Earthy and spicy with the consistency of a thin syrup
Mana potion: No discernable taste since it converts to energy as soon as it hits your tongue evoking a tingling electrical sensation

>>717138570 (OP)
HP pots will have iron taste
MP pots will have taste/burn like alcohol without the intoxication.

>>717139013
What makes you think it’s medicinal herbs in there?

>>717138570 (OP)
coke and pepsi

red one is bubblegum and blue is coolmint
theyre dentist flavored :(

>>717139013
This. These people are dumb.
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

>>717139013
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

>>717142170
>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)
They already sell them in stores, go buy some and find out.

>>717146670
if you take both of these do you just like sneeze all the fluid out of your body

a huge turkey leg and an inexplicably carbonated ice cold beer.

>>717149773
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.
haha bunghole

Nothing. I'll be brooding over at the bar table cloaked by my mysterious cowl.

>>717147001
salt pork and bread, ale, and whatever you got stewing in that pot over there.

>>717147001
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
magic, duh

>>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
turns out people prefer having their medicine not taste like dogshit if the option is available to them

>>717138570 (OP)

Mega ultra sweet fake blueberry

>>717164753
You can absolutely mess up a stew.

>>717138570 (OP)
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

>>717147001
Beef and an Estus Flask (in my mind Estus has the flavor of orange juice)

Like when you put a metal pencil sharpener in your mouth?

>>717138570 (OP)
mana is definitely blueberry
>>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

>>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.

Pic related is my answer

>>717138570 (OP)
thick, sticky, syrupy, with a not too faint herbal undertone, and not in a good way, but the "I'm trying to cover up how horrible this tastes raw but it's still coming through" way

>>717147001
water, plain
I like to live dangerously, and that's unironically as dangerous a drink gets in medieval times

Give me some of the mystery stew thats been on the fire for 4 days

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.

Jägermeister. Mana and health potions taste like Jägermeister.

>>717138570 (OP)
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 .

>>717179136
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.

Probably super bitter and unpleasant like most old time plant based remedies. If they tasted good youd buy them at the tavern not the apothecary

>>717138570 (OP)
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.

I make my own. I wouldn't taste them however, I use distilled water and kool-aide with a smidge of isopropyl alcohol. Cool to look at though.
