Tons of ads for Ryze mushroom drink, is it coffee? is it good? and is it worth it?

[Shellback Squid]

saw the vid ads for months on FB and other sites.
Just a ton of marketing and that's not cheap

Lastly, Should I just post this in the lounge?

1. It sounds awful.

2. and it's not cheap, teaser ad for a discount but had to do a subscription..I don't even know if I'd like it

3. I have a general aversion to mushrooms.

And I can’t see how drinking them would be any more pleasant.

4. My son gets it. Local coffee shop has started carrying it.

It has chicory it reminds me of Chase Sanborn.

5. I got it and didn't like it but

I don't like coffee either. I gave it to my neighbor to try since he is a coffee drinker and he described it as dirt with creamer and gave it back to me.

6. James Hoffman breaks it all down for us.

That's about 20 minutes long (but worth it). Here's the condensed version (edited to say also worth it).

7. I got some mushroom coffee drink about a year ago

I don't know if it was the same type of mushroom as this. I'm also not much of a coffee drinker but wanted something to keep me awake and asked for recommendation. It was expensive but that entire coffee shop was expensive becsuse of the location .

In terms of taste not sure it was better or worse than what I usually have tasted.

9. Glad you asked.

Thought about trying it, but looks like it’ll be tea if not coffee.

10. my philosophy (ymmv)...

i don’t watch ads. never. i see one, it’s instantly muted. i never read, watch, listen to ads…

unless i have a need for something and am searching for the deal that suits me.

otherwise, i’m just watching someone trying to get money from me…and i have never found that to be an advantage to me. if i didn’t need it, i don’t need to watch ads for it.

try it…maybe, like me, your stress levels will go down.

12. I'm with you. I mute stuff. I like to stream shows where I can fast forward through ads.

Or not have ads at all. I don't buy stuff based on ads, but on my research if I need something.

One ad I really hate is that stuff for that game for you phone. It's got all these "has been" actors doing them, so annoying and it must be costing a fortune. Plus, they say no ads, but there's fine print about "in-app purchases" which are, you guessed it, ads.

11. I drink Ryze mushroom coffee

I’ll start by saying that I do NOT drink it for the taste, because it tastes nothing like coffee to me. It’s very earthy tasting, I call it dirt water.
I do like the effect it has on me. It gives me a nice energy boost and also helps my digestive system. I’m starting to sound like an ad, but that’s what I think of it. I still drink my regular morning coffee, this stuff will never replace that! It’s kinda spendy though, but I like how it makes me feel so I justify it that way.

13. I thought the most carcenogenic natural foods one can eat are red wine and mushrooms.

14. Ingredients include King Trumpet mushrooms

15. Those ads have never intruded on my personal universe...

... but I can easily imagine some dark future where ordinary people cannot afford coffee and drink some substitute.

It doesn't sound like this is it.
