Worst drink flavour ever...

'Energy boosting' eel drink latest attempt to beat the heat | The Japan Times Online

From the report:
The fizzy, yellow-colored drink contains extracts from the head and bones of eel and five vitamins — A, B1, B2, D and E — contained in the fish.
But, does it taste like eel? Apparently:
The eel involved in recent scandals was prepared in a popular "kaba-yaki" style, in which it is broiled and covered with a sweet sauce. The ¥140 drink costs about one-tenth as much as broiled eel but has a similar flavor.
I feel queasy just thinking about tasting it.
