What flavors do you find "grounding?" - eviltoast

Title is basically it.

For me, it’s usually coffee, or anything spicy, like cayenne pepper. Apple cider vinegar usually does it, too.

    I’m noticing a lot of people are listing relaxing flavors and not grounding flavors. Grounding is something that “brings you back to Earth” and puts you right in the moment in front of you.

    For me, this is something really sour (usually candy). It kind of knocks me out of whatever zone-out I was in, or hyperfocus. It’s like a reset switch.

      Not sure that’s an experience I’m familiar with, especially from food / drink. I’ll have to watch out for it. Do you happen to know where the term emerged from? Seems like lots of people here didn’t understand it, is it used more often in different contexts or communities?
