Ever tasted skimmate?

So I was emptying out my skimmer cup today. Now my skimmer almost doesn't fit under my tank, so instead of taking the cup out to empty it, I drain it by putting an airline hose in one of the holes and sucking it into a container for disposable. I drink gatorade way too much, so I have like 1000 empty bottles I use for various things. I am looking around for a container and grab a gatorade bottle. I empty the skimmer cup into the bottle (the label's still on) and put the bottle on my night stand (bad idea). Since I constantly drink these, a little while ago I forgot that it was wasn't gatorade and took a big gulp of it. I didn't throw up amazingly. It WAS the nastiest thing I've ever tasted. It tastes worse than it smells and isn't as salty as I thought it would be. Now I wish I had waited longer to set my skimmer to the dryest setting. Anyone else ever tried it? What's your story? Am I the only idiot who has done this?

Yes, I'm afraid you are.

Thanks.
I'm sure their is at least one more person out there. Speak up people! I am too apathetic to A, throw the bottle away in the first place...B find a container that I won't mistake as a drink, and C empty it immediately after. This has really opened my eyes (and nasal passage), now I have to learn to clean up after myself.

wow. That is disgusting. for only 20 bucks. That was an awesome tank did you see it!
Once we were at a baseball party in college, and someone had filled a whole waterbottle with snuff spit. And this drunk way way drunk girl saw it, and was like I'm thirsty what is this, and before we could stop her she downed about half of it. Then it was time for

It wasn't my spit, and well, I wasn't the one partying. That is why you don't get drunk...
Hey now, there is nothing wrong with a solid buzz but getting that drunk is an issue and I hope the young lady learned a valuable lesson

You need to rephrase that...it should say, "that is why you don't drink." See the difference? Just kidding.

I can't even click on the link. I am gagging just thinking about it. How in the world did you not smell it when you twisted off the cap? Let's just say you didn't put the cap on. Skimmate smells. How did you not notice that going toward your face. If you notice the Gatorade bottle then you were lucid enough to breath in before swallowing that nastiness. Seriously, how can you even justify that as a mistake? That is like saying that you drank pee because you were half asleep... WHO da WHAT????

Pretty disgusting, I must say.
You couldn't pay me enough to drink that mess. Guys are different though. I have a friend that licked a lugie off of a wall for $10.......gross!
