# We Made a Review Report on the 'Worst-Tasting Drinks'

> As Guangzhou issued its first high-temperature warning of the year on June 1, temperatures soared above 35°C for the first time on June 2, with the heat expected to persist for two more days. In the scorching summer, beverages are essential for relief, and netizens have been comparing bizarre drinks online, sparking a legend of the 'worst-tasting drinks.' Our reporter bravely tasted the top five 'divine waters' to provide a review report.

35.1°C! After Guangzhou issued its first high-temperature warning of the year on June 1, temperatures exceeded 35°C for the first time on June 2. The meteorological station predicts this heat will last for another two days.
In the scorching summer, beverages are essential for beating the heat. Recently, on Tianya, Douban, or Weibo, netizens have been showcasing various bizarre drinks for comparison, causing a stir. The legend of the 'worst-tasting drinks' has begun to spread. What do these drinks actually taste like? It's said that those who have drunk them have had their souls elevated.
**'Knowing' (nz_zhidao) presents a review report by a Southern Weekly reporter who fearlessly (and recklessly) tasted these 'divine waters'.**
Yes. To write this report, we actually tried all the worst-tasting 'divine waters' one by one—according to in-depth netizen discussions, 'Oriental Leaf, Kvass, Heysong Sarsaparilla, Scream Red Flavor, and Laoshan White Flower Snake Grass Water' have become the top five most widely circulated 'worst-tasting drinks.'
The internet has shrouded these five divine waters in a mysterious veil, making it hard for even the most adventurous palate to take a sip. So we decided to do a simple and crude review report, discarding brands, recipes, and nostalgia, stripping away their 'internet celebrity' facade, returning to their original purpose of cooling off in summer, and exploring their true taste essence as beverages.
**1. Laoshan White Flower Snake Grass Water**
**Difficulty Rating: 6 stars ★★★★★★**
It's really hard to drink. Really, really, hard to drink. (Important things said three times)
The taste is slightly salty, exuding a faint but lingering coolness of a reptile's lair. A gecko, elusive, pokes its head out from a tattered straw mat curled at the corners, flicks its tongue, and then scurries along the wall. The mood is oppressive, the atmosphere hazy. With one gulp, the cells on the walls of your mouth are struck dumb by a blunt blow. The muscles above the neck are enveloped in a dense, thick layer of dust particles.
It's like returning to the afternoon of the big class cleanup at the start of the fourth grade after summer vacation. The setting sun slants through the paned glass windows, and ethereal dust particles dance in the light beams. The student on duty sprinkles water unevenly on the cement floor, splashing the wooden legs of the desks. The floor is a mess of crumpled, sticky clumps of dust and paper scraps. The broom sweeps with a swish, and the damp, muddy dust invades your nostrils. That's the feeling—not despair, but the endless, mundane, boring old days with a dusty taste.
The tattered straw mat combined with the dust mixed with the sweat of cold-blooded animals perfectly captures the bizarre taste experience of White Flower Snake Grass Water. In the fierce competition for the worst-tasting drink, it firmly holds the top position as the 'divine water.'
**Perfect Pairing: Spicy Strips, Surströmming**
Snake grass water's cold, gloomy 'otherworldly aura' clashes with the passionate, spicy grassroots vibe of spicy strips. These two unique taste experiences collide head-on, like oil on fire, instantly stimulating the adrenal glands for an ultimate 'ice and fire' experience.
However, a PR lady from Laoshan Company told our reporter, 'Spicy strips are still too weak.' Surströmming is the ultimate companion for White Flower Snake Grass Water. If you're brave enough, give it a try.
