I am glad to have it as well. I don't know that I will ever get used to the taste, but as I am collecting it, I say things to myself about how it is the healing elixir of life, or anything my very sleepy brain can come up with to put me into a positive frame of mind. Then I use the straw! I haven't seen a huge correlation between what I eat and how it tastes, but then I am trying not to taste it too much.
