Mini funnel to drink N.. would it work?

[oziinnz]

Wondering if this could be a solution to mostly bypass the taste buds. Maybe it wouldn't work. A mini funnel would stop it being such a large flow but not sure if it would still prevent choking?
I guess could practise with another liquid to see how well it works, how much you can still taste

Some have said that using a straw would work best. Maybe combining a straw with other ways of masking the taste, like orajel or peanut butter, might also help.

Interesting ideas. I'd worry about getting it all down fast enough though. My understanding was always that it's best to just chug it lest you risk falling asleep before taking the full dose.

Actually it would be interesting to try coating the tongue in orajel/ bonjela and doing shots of vodka to see how much it dulls the taste

Yeah that's a very valid point. Maybe doing a bigger normal party funnel but maybe one size down might be worth a practise run haha wonder if it would be faster

Faster than chugging them down I mean

Maybe something to explore. I'd be interested to hear if someone tested this with some other bitter liquid in the same quantity as 2 bottles as N, time it and see how it compares and if it was easier.

I have a straw. I'll go test how long it takes to drink 200mL of liquid.

I'm keen to try once I buy a funnel and tube

It took me 11 seconds to drink 200mL of liquid through a straw as fast as I could. It didn't help at all with mitigating the taste though, since the straw is still at the entrance of your mouth and the liquid still rushes over your tongue pretty quickly.

Gonna throw a few dumb questions at you. First, was it a normal straw, an especially wide straw, or what? That is pretty quick. Do you think you could overcome the taste issue by pushing the straw further back in your mouth/towards your throat without gagging or anything?

It was a metal straw about 1mm smaller in diameter than a regular restaurant straw, so with a slightly larger straw you could probably drink 200mL in 9 or 10 seconds.

It's difficult to suck on the straw when it's in the back of your mouth, it might take 3-4x longer to drink the same amount of liquid.
