What do you think Vigors taste like?

[MsWhatsit]

I think they all taste like Robitussin cough syrup, based on Booker's convulsive reaction after drinking them. (OK, fine, also because his hands are deforming into octopus tentacles, or whatever. But I choose to think it's because he just really hates Robitussin, like all right-thinking people.)

I was going to say they taste like energy drinks. And considering that most energy drinks taste like carbonated cough syrup, it looks like we agree.

Captcha: lumpy gravy.

Which is also a possibility.

Murder of Crows - Black Licorice. With a nasty, greasy texture. Guh.

 

[xPrometheusx]

Fink makes the vigors, so they probably all taste like lost dreams.

Kidding! I'd bet Devil's kiss straight up tastes like gasoline. And Shock Jockey tastes like really, really concentrated soda water.

Did anyone else think it's weird that he pretty much stops freaking out about what happens to him after the Devil's kiss? Like... you drink the Shock Jockey and crystals grow out of your hands, and he just looks at it and kinda says "mkay."

 

[MASTACHIEFPWN]

Pure, unadulterated pain.

I always imagine myself saying "Will I ever learn?" After viewing the painful hand shit after drinking one of them.

 

[Stealthygamer]

Buckleys, just because.

 

[MysticSlayer]

Possession: Really cheap wine
Devil's Kiss: Pure hot sauce
Murder of Crows: Blood
Bucking Bronco: Budweiser
Shock Jockey: Lemon juice
Charge: Red Bull
Return to Sender: Ipecac syrup
Undertow: Tonic water

I'd be more than willing to drink Charge. The others I would be less enthusiastic about, maybe even incredibly hesitant, but none of them seem that bad when you consider the powers that come with them.

 

[kailus13]

Thinking about it logically, Undertow would probably taste like calamari

 

[nexus]

Probably like death, with a hint of a million tortured souls.

It's very occult-y. Cthulu-esque.

The very first one you drink is called "Possession". MMmm possession....

 

[wintercoat]

They're booze. Bioshock Infinite is just one crazy bender seen through the eyes of someone drunk off their ass.

In all seriousness, they probably taste like really awful medicine. Considering the medicine that was used back then, they probably tastes like a mix of ethanol and heroin. Possibly cocaine.

 

[Extra-Ordinary]

I was just thinking of this question.
Anyway.
Posession: A smooth sort of green-apple something.
Shock Jockey: Kind of like one of those 5-hour energies. Always had a zap to them. I know, that's awful but it;s the truth.
Murder Of Crows: Something musky.
Return To Sender: Copper. That strong copper taste.
Devil's Kiss: Something spicy.
Charge: This one's kind of tough for me, hm... I'm thinking something like Gatorade.
Bucking Bronco: Whisky or Jack
Undertow: Just plain water. It's a water-based vigor after all.

Probably like these: GOD THEY WERE TERRIBLE!!!

 

[Risingblade]

Like innocence, delicious uncorrected innocence.

 

[Headsprouter]

Devil's Kiss...like a mixture of ass and hot sauce mixed with lager.
Charge, like the plastic that makes credit cards. ROFLMAO
Undertow, like calamari and Nuka-cola Quantum.
Bucking Bronco, like honeycomb drenched in Red Bull.
Possession, however it wants me to taste it.
Return to Sender, rubber and glue. -shudder-
Murder of Crows, blood.
Shock Jockey, whatever Zebstrika or Blitzle taste like.

 

[an annoyed writer]

I'd say MoC tastes like liquorice, Undertow tastes like Cthulhu's underpants and Devil's Kiss tastes of aniseed. But what do I know? I'm suprised Mountain Dew hasn't come out with a promotional tie-in to the game with a set of vigour drinks. What with them being all in to games and such. I bet Comstock has a stash of doritos somewhere too.

Comstock has Doritos... FROM THE FUTURE! Hey, it could happen. They're already pulling music from the future, so why not food?

Now, for the original question: I'd imagine at least one tasting like antifreeze.

 

[Moonlight Butterfly]

Possession: Really cheap wine

This made me laugh a lot mostly because I get really amorous on cheap wine . I was gonna say possession would taste minty and have a menthol taste to it but this is much better xD

 

[Strelok]

Possession probably tastes like absinthe, get a glimpse of the green faery when Booker drinks it at first. Devil's Kiss, probably cinnamon schnapps would be about right. For Murder of Crows I will guess black sambuca. For Undertow probably something like brine, maybe Kraken Spiced Rum.
