Taste Great! Ugh, no... OK, I have just learned that chewing Wrigley's Spearmint gum then taking a drink of coffee, (after spitting out the gum) makes the coffee taste really disgusting. I mean really, it is nasty.

I just thought I would share that with you. That is all.

gomi's works really well in reverse, too.

Also, coffee from a travel mug that previously contained tea and was not properly rinsed out. I've said it elsewhere, but I confidently predict that teafee will not be the next beverage trend. (Yours still sounds more disgusting, govtdrone.)

Coffee + orange juice is also blucky.

Wintergreen/Spearmint gum makes Cola taste really bad.

Deliciousness can be retained by injecting bacon into any of the above combinations (e.g. Coffee + bacon + OJ, gum + bacon + coffee, toothpaste + bacon + coffee, gum + bacon + coke).

Y'know what's really bad? Coffee + stevia sweetener.

I haven't tried the stevia. Is it really that bad?

The only I can think of that goes well after mint gum is hot chocolate.

A few weeks ago we were discussing during lunch how some fruits are ok with milk (e.g. berries, banana), while others are not, and my friend convinced me and another guy to try milk + orange juice.

We tried it. I expected it to taste bad - surprisingly it wasn't exactly bad, but it just didn't mix: you tasted it, and went like (in my friend's words) "Oh... there's the milk... and yeah, there's the orange juice". Two separate tastes.

Also, coffee with anything on it. Black FTW.

And holy shit, I tried decaf a few days ago. It's like roasted evil.
