Discussion Taste bypass

[Chinaski]

I've mentioned this idea before, but would be interested in further feedback.

In order to bypass taste, would it be feasible to use a soft tube and push it down to the back of the throat, beyond the tongue? I know tubes directly to the stomach can lead to complications if they accidentally end up in the lung, but a shorter tube just to bypass the tongue and the swallow reflex is easily done, surely ?

Once inserted, the outer end can be attached to a funnel, and any foul-tasting liquid can be poured down, bypassing the tongue but finding its own natural way to the stomach. Would this work?

This whole tubes thing is going to lead to you in a worse position you are in now. If you're trying to ingest N and you're worried about the whole bitterness thing, you're doing it wrong.

If you want to bypass taste. You need a blender, some ice, strawberries, bananas, almond milk, and a wee bit of honey (Don't insert the N). Mix 3 - 4 shots of good rum into it. Blend it. Now after you've blended it, get a nice big empty glass, pour half the N into the glass. Take your blended mix, fill the glass half way, then pour the rest of the N in, after that fill the glass back up almost to the top with your blended mix.

get a spoon and stir it for 1 minute.

after that, bottoms up champ.

Using tubes, you might fuck with your gag reflex. You don't want to do that.

Yes, gag reflex is bad.

Anyway, this is easy to test. Try your setup with a glass of juice, and see how it feels. Use only small amounts.

I'd be reluctant to open it, obviously that would remove its potency. I'm interested in knowing how bad it tastes just for frame of reference, but can't do this.

You're both right re gag reflex, but l was thinking of testing such a tube with water, see how well l get on. If it works, it's surely better than trying to drink a cupful of drain cleaner, which I'm pretty certain would also trigger a gag reflex.

I assume you're talking about N? Seems like it would make matters a lot worse.

Yes it's bitter from what I heard but take anti-nausea meds before hand, then hold your nose while you drink it. Keep holding your nose for about a minute after swallowing. Then suck on a mint.
