I guess they want to trick you into thinking that you can drink your breakfast? Yech.
I agree with you, nothing that smells that good should taste so horrible. I cannot even stand mocha. I am a chocoholic, but the coffee flavor ruins the chocolate. Years ago, I was with a friend at one of those Harvest Festivals. They has a booth where a merchant was selling their own roast that was mixed with various flavors. My friend was a coffee drinker. She sampled several flavors. I had turned down the samples because I hate coffee, and she knew it. After drinking one sample, she said, "This one is raspberry and you can hardly taste the coffee flavor." So, I tried a sip. All I could taste was an awful coffee flavor with a very slight raspberry flavor. I told her that too many years of coffee drinking had destroyed her taste buds.
