In solution with water it tastes somewhere between the worlds worst flattest sprite and a sweet lemon.
Edit: I’d marked Sodium Citrate, which is a similar compound but is used for different reasons. Sodium Citrate is an anti-coagulant. If you’ve ever donated blood plasma, its that weird sterile taste you get in the back of your neck when they feed the blood solids back in with saline. It is also used in nacho cheese.
Can’t tell if you’re joking, but you have to. The doctor prescribes it, and it cleans everything out of your system. By the end, you’re just crapping out the lemon drink itself and you’re squeaky clean for the camera
It’s not about the driver experience, it’s about the road inspection. If the patient has a pre-cancerous polyp the inspector sees, they will cut it out, problem averted. If the patient has a pre-cancerous polyp obscured by stool, it gets missed and then in a few years turns to cancer. And survival rates for colon cancer are depressingly low.
Before a colonoscopy, you typically have to drink something called “prep” to clean out your system. For the better part of a day before the procedure, you drink nothing but this liquid that is meant to clean out your intestines, and it makes you shit your guts out until it’s nothing but the clear liquid. It’s usually lemon or pineapple flavored, and it tastes awful.
What the fuck is “lemon flavored ass blaster juice”??

Why would you drink two bottles of that before a colonoscopy?!

Oh shit, didn’t know that. Luckily I’ve never had a colonoscopy! Thanks for explaining!
I think he’s mistaking it for magnesium citrate. It pulls water into your intestines via osmosis and makes you squirt constantly.
She, and yes you’re correct.
🥵
Your colon is like a road:
Would you rather drive down a smooth, well maintained, Clean road or a muddy mess that’s never seen a cleanup crew?
You don’t technically have to, but I think whoever is driving the colonoscope might refuse to work in those conditions.

magnesium citrate is probably what he took
