The whole things tasting bad being good for your troupe is a cultural thing, but still, it is a little strange looking at how everyone is just freaked out. However, the main character takes it on the chin like a champ. I guess chugging things that taste bad is still something I have learned. It is one thing when it is a solid, but a liquid is easy to deal with. You just have to open up your throat and let it all fall down your throat. You need to let gravity do the work. I am surprised that he had already figured that out. Still, it is strange that everyone freaks out at his ability to do everything he is told. At least there is that much going for him.
