When I was a little kid, maybe 7 or 8, I was playing basketball at the local Boys Club.
Back in those days, sodas only came in bottles, and many of the soda machines had metal racks on the side where you could leave your empties. Sometimes people would put half empty sodas there, so my friends and I (when we were hard up for change and thirsty), would drink the half empties.
On this particular day, I scored a half empty Grape Crush (like an Orange Crush, but grape flavored and dark). Apparently one of the staff had been drinking the soda on a break, and then dumped his cigarette in it.
That was the most god awful taste ever!!! I puked and dry heaved for like 15 minutes.
I credit that for my never starting to smoke cigarettes (although I became a serious pothead, LOL)...
