Nyquil tastes like Jeager

So, earlier this week I was a little stressed at work, and super tired, but so anxious about needing sleep that I couldn't actually fall asleep. So, I thought I'd take a little non-medicinal Nyquil to knock me out. Ben couldn't believe I could even drink that stuff because it tastes so awful. I took a sip and had to agree.

"Why did the makers of Nyquil think that licorice would be a good idea for a flavor? People don't drink Jeager for the taste. I dont think." I asked

"Licorice and Root Beer?" Ben asked

I had no idea what he was talking about but I was on a roll so I continued "I have a great idea for our new cold syrup - let's make it taste like Jeager, that won't make people want to vomit when they drink it!"

Ben: "Licorice and Root Beer?"

Me: "Licorice and vomit more like, that's what I taste when I drink it. And then vomit."

Ben: "Licorice and root beer?"

Me: "I feel like you're so focused on your joke that you're not paying attention to mine. And yours isn't very good. Why do you keep saying that anyway, are you saying that's what Jeager is supposed to taste like?"

Ben: "Yes"

Me: "Well stop saying that and laugh at my joke"

Ben: "Licorice and Root Beer?—If you don't think my joke is funny, then why are you laughing?"

Then he got punched.
