I don't think someone in the 90s would describe someone else's tea as smelling like kombucha.

- bencollier49 5y agoParaphrased in the present, I guess.
- meragrin_ 5y agoHow about someone in 2022 describing something taking place in the 90s? That part was not in the dialog taking place in the 90s but the author describing the scene.
- sophacles 5y agoWhy not? It was a niche hippie/health-nut thing back then, but it was around. Here's a random article i found from forbes that goes into it a bit: https://www.forbes.com/sites/christinatroitino/2017/02/01/kombucha-101-demystifying-the-past-present-and-future-of-the-fermented-tea-drink/?sh=52ba4a944ae2 https://www.forbes.com/sites/christinatroitino/2017/02/01/ko...
- oriolid 5y agoAccording to my Ukrainian co-worker, back in 90s Kombucha was known as a horrible traditional delicacy similar to surströmming, hákarl or casu marzu. And yes, I have had a co-worker who drank weird smelly herbal teas and was obsessed with vitamins among other things. And a different one who had a mug that was covered with thick black crust inside and who insisted that it must never be washed.
