kill the gagging taste of the drank
Skip the drink, pay for the pills! That $50 was a great investment in my peace of mind.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

And if you don't go with the pills, use gatorade to blend the drink because the flavor is strong enough to kinda-sorta overpower it.
I've learned this the hard way, being something of a pro at this because of my family history forcing me to have my first one back in my mid-30s. The first time I used Sprite, reasoning that it was my least favorite soda. Choosing a fizzy drink was a mistake, and also the experience turned Sprite from a meh flavor to one where the mere thought of it turns my stomach.
Last time, about a year ago, I had the bright idea of using white grape juice, since I don't drink grape juice but I also don't hate it, and I figured the sweetness would drown out the drink's flavor. But it was actually disgusting and (spoiler font for grossness) the smell of whatever you drink shows up in your copious pre-procedure shit within a few hours. Suffice it to say grape juice is now on my never drink list alongside Sprite, and it even temporarily turned me off to fruity white wines. Which was not something I could explain to anyone but Dylan on our fancy-schmancy wine country vacation last year. I ended up begging Dylan to go out and get me some nice lemon gatorade for my second dose of that round, which was much better.
