Like a more flavorful cough syrup. You the know kind. Where it has little chunks of sugar or something in it.
>>
>>329727589
would a mana potion be some sort of shitty blueberry syrup
>>
I just thought it tasted like strawberry milk

Isn't there an energy drink brand that answers both of these questions?

I wonder why there was never a Soda drink that looked health pots

nah mana potion clearly tastes like blue powerade
>>
>>329728528
Yes but those ones are designed specifically to taste appealing.
>>
>>329727589
I thought it would have that incredibly artificial cherry flavor some syrups have, so yes.

Coke uses little round bottles once in a while.

Kinda surprised that the WoW Mt. Dew promo didn't use something like the round bottle design.

it'd tate bitter as hell with a sticky aftertaste you can't get rid of for hours

Blood.
>>
>>329727589
Your favorite flavor of juice.

Health potions recover HP, which is essentially tied to your blood, as evidenced by blood sucking moves taking your health and restoring the enemy's. Hence I am led to believe that it is made of something that either replaces blood or promotes blood production, hence it'd have a strong iron taste.

Mana potions, as they are a mental and spiritual thing, probably have mint as mint is known to increase alertness, fish oil, as it improves brain functionality, and citrus, for overall well-being.

I always thought drinking from an estus flask would be like drinking really thick honey
>>
>>329728828
It's probably really expensive to swap out/create new machines to manufacture different bottle shapes.
I would buy the fuck out of stuff like that, though. I like little immersive shit I can put on my desk that's actually in-game.

>>329727589
You're not supposed to drink it, you're supposed to splash it on your wounds.

Drinking health potions gives you cancer.

I remember there was a Magic the Gathering book where the main dude had to keep using what were essentially health potions, and he starts having heart problems since they sped up his natural recovery.

I wish there was a game that did something like that, it would be a really interesting mechanic. Only thing that comes close is the toxicity for potions in the Witcher series but that's not really punishing enough.

Fruits do because of its abundance of tasty natural sugars
>>
I always pictured them having a very mild flavor, but being really thick. maybe kinda flowery tasting, since most of them are made from herbs and shit.
>>
>>329729502

Not really the same but I think the healing items in postal 2 can fuck you up if you consume too many of them.

>beer with too much hops
no such thing
>>
>>329729267
tasty fruit is bad due to too much sugar and acidic nature low sugar fruits are whats good for you. veggies by themselves are quite bland.
a potion made to maximize health is going to minimize any tastiness you might find in any tasty food
>>
OP

In a perfect world, men like me would not exist... but this is not a perfect world.

Short answer, like shit. Long answer, probably metallic/salty with a thick texture like tomato soup without the extra cup of water thick.
>>
>>329727589
Metallic strawberries and mugwort

>>329727589
I figured it would be viscous, smell like copper, and taste pretty bitter.
Something this convenient can't be that pleasant.
>>
>>329729367

>>
like a bitter fruit juice
>>
>>329727589

A cough medicine, more saturated and textured like superman's blood cylinder
>>
You can buy them in Akiba.

Real answer: rl alchemists were practically brewmeisters on the side, so they'd be some sort of alcohol.
>>

Probably tastes like blood. Maybe blood mixed with liquor.
>>
