Same here. Kept waiting for a, “a little bit salty and a little bit sweet”. Was disappointed.

Now I want to taste strawberries with the DNA removed. Get on it, food science.

You, uh… you know she’s not literally the only person ever to have given a blowjob, right? I know what semen tastes like, and as far as the local PTA knows I’m a fine upstanding straight cis-male dude.
