From what I understand, there is significant variance in how bitter it is to different people. As an example, I can lick a switch cartridge and just get a slight tingly sensation, it's not particularly bitter or unpleasant. I have also tasted the denatured alcohol used in some decorative tabletop burners (mainly because, hey, it says 100% non toxic - can't be THAT Bad!). It had a similar tingly taste, and reminded me a bit of gin...

9 volt batteries are where the real action is.
Spicy electrons have a very interesting taste/sensation. I never found it to be painful or unpleasant… just weird. And yet I also never wanted to do it again.

Same with getting an accidental zap by 120VAC. Fuzzies. But no thanks.
