What is the worst cycling food you’ve ever tasted?

[Dr_Alex_Harrison]

I am convinced that the only reason this thread is continuing is because not everyone here has tried the SIS menthol products.

Here is my evidence:

@MrSmith670

SiS turbo drink mix. It had menthol in it for some reason. Tasted like how vix vapor rub smells. Made a bottle for the trainer, got on the bike, took a swig, got off the bike, and pitched the whole container. Soooo nasty.

@Quadzilla_Jr

SIS “Turbo+” gel in Cool Citrus Menthol tastes like something you shouldn’t put in your mouth.

@Cogshead

I would describe the taste as mentholated bile, and that was at 1/3 the recommended amount…I really can’t imagine anyone getting it down full strength.

@Dr_Alex_Harrison

@Power13

Just the thought of adding mint / menthol to a gel makes me want to

I tried a menthol SIS gel that I got for free.

Tasted like lemon-scented IcyHot.

I’m not sure I could choke a whole gel down even if I was hypoglycemic and performance was on the line. I’ve never tasted something that so strikingly triggered a “this is not an edible thing” response. As in “surely I should not eat this.”

It was as if I had just tasted bleach. Immediate revulsion and fear for well-being. Other things I have consumed, for context. The menthol SIS gel surpassed all.

• Cat food (I was 12 okay)
• Beet juice, citrulline malate, ashwagandha, creatine, beta alanine slurry.
• Chewed up caffeine pill
• Pure sodium citrate in water
• LaQroix (I was 32, still bad)
• Spoiled meat
• Everclear

@Skirotica

i got a box of the menthol SIS gels too and i can say i am not a fan. I don’t need to try the other stuff on your list to relate. They suck.
