I asked the same question and everything he made it sound so bad.. It really wasn't bad at all. Your suppose to fast for 8hours before the test so don't eat anything or it could cause you to fail because it messes with your blood sugar levels. Really isn't bad! Promise :)

I'd compare it to a melt orange popsicle. Yucky but doable.

I had to fast for mine. It wasnt bad at all. Drank it in 1 minute. People make it sound worse than it really is.

I had to do the 3 hour one and it was so gross. But my doctors didnt let me eat anything before because they said it would affect the results. So bout 2 hours in I felt so sick but I pulled through and it all turned out good. Only thing was since I did it at like 13 weeks my doctor said I have tp do it again at like 6 months.

I had orange a couple of weeks ago and had fruit punch today.  The orange tasted like thick orange kool aid. The fruit punch tasted alright just very very sweet

Horrible! Think very flat sprite or orange soda with corn syrup added to thicken it up. Very tough on an empty stomach. Good luck with your test though!
