My friend bought a can of Chinotto flavoured beverage to see it was like. I took a sip and almost puked, it was so gross. My exact words were, "It tastes like pooh" because it tasted the way I imagined pooh would taste like (I swear).
Anyway, I googled it for the fun of it, and the first english site (try it (http://www.google.ca/search?q=chinotto)) said exactly that. It so true!!
<Edit> oops - the site is this:

Damn it, it wasn't that bad
