ED meds have come a long way from the little blue pill. Desires for faster-acting meds have led producers to change the format up entirely. And where we once had regular ol’ pills, we now have mints, dissolvables, and chewables.

But this new generation of ED meds comes with a bit of a catch: you have to taste the medicine. And the medicine does not taste good. So the boner bigwigs started adding flavors to ‘em. Which means that in addition to finding an ED med that works for you, you also have to find one you actually like the taste of.

And so, dear reader, here I am. 7 ED meds and almost two weeks in. Taste testing boner pills and ranking them by flavor and erectability. You know, the type of thing every boy expects he’ll be doing at 35. 

I’ve tasted all the flavors I could get my hands on from all the favs - Blue Chew, Hello Cake, Hims, Ro, and Rugiet. Thankfully, I found that my favorite flavor was also the most effective for me. I honestly don’t know what I would’ve done if that didn’t work out. So, you can click here to jump to the winner (and take 20% off with code: PRIMARY20) or you can read the full ranking below. 

The Taste Test

#1 - Hello Cake Fresh Mint

In a world where grape and tropical fruit and chocolate mint flavors all exist, I get that Fresh Mint may sound like the most basic of choices. But here’s the deal: ED medicine tastes bitter. Mint covers bitterness really, really well. And there’s just something that screams “kiss me” about mint. Mint gum, minty mouthwash, actual mints… All essential parts of the makeout routine. And Cake’s Fresh Mint flavor (a new and improved version of their original mint flavor) just nails exactly what it claims on the box. It’s fresh, it’s kissable, it’s tasty, it works, and I like it.

By the way, in terms of erection potential, Cake Meds take the cake for me. They combine fast-acting Sildenafil with long-lasting Tadalafil for a med that’s greater than the sum of its parts. And unlike most of the other meds, they actually dissolve quickly under your tongue, which means that they start working even faster than the rest. 

#2 - Hello Cake Wild Grape

This was a curveball for me! I honestly did not expect to like this flavor at all. I’m normally not one for grape-flavored candy, but these meds actually tasted… grapey? It’s hard to put into words, but it tasted like they went more for actual grape than purple/grape flavor. It works. My wife even mentioned that I tasted nice after eating this one. And the fact that they dissolve under your tongue quickly (rather than needing to sit there for 10 minutes) goes a long way. 

#3 - Hims Hard Mints

What can I say? Mint works. These are chewable mints with a spearmint flavor that’s quite pleasant. I did still get a little bit of bitterness stuck in my teeth afterwards, but it wasn’t the end of the world. Honestly, my biggest beef with Hims is that they use Vardenafil instead of Sildenafil. Vardenafil takes longer to kick in to begin with, so it feels like I’m chewing this mint for faster action, but then still getting stuck waiting around.

#4 - Hello Cake Orange Creamsicle

This is a bit of a weird spot. I don’t personally love orange-flavored stuff, but I get that a lot of people do. And as far as orange flavors go, this is definitely one of the better ones that I’ve tried! However, this was my wife’s favorite flavor. She really liked it. And since it dissolves quickly, I’m fine with it. Orange Creamsicle is also the last of the flavors that made me say “This is fine!” Everything ranked below is very much entering into “buyer beware” territory. 

#5 - Ro Sparks

Oh Ro. Ro, Ro, Ro. Tropical Fruit was a choice. It was a very bold choice. One that does not particularly pay off. Ro Sparks actually uses the same ingredients as the Cake Meds (Sildenafil and Tadalafil), which means that in erection terms, they do a solid job. But man does the flavor take away from it. This is not a good tropical fruit. And because these meds take a full 10 minutes to dissolve under your tongue, you just have to sit there experiencing the hell out of it.

#6 - Blue Chew

What berry is berry flavor? Is it blueberry as the Blue Chew site seems to imply? Is it raspberry? Blackberry? Strawberry? Or is it… perhaps… some ungodly berry homunculus, bred in the lab to bring destruction to tastebuds across the world? How is it the worst parts of all berries, but the best parts of none? Why is it ever-so-slightly bilious? Who thought this was a good idea? All of these questions, and more, passed through my head while I was chewing Blue Chew. 

#7 - Rugiet Ready

I don’t understand how this happened. I love mint. Two of my top three ED meds are mint flavored. And I love chocolate. Hell, I love a chocolatey mint and a minty chocolate. But whatever Rugiet has done to these two flavors is borderline criminal. I don’t know how you turn what should be a perfect pairing into something so diabolically evil that it left me queasy and made my wife tell me she wouldn’t kiss me until I brushed my teeth, but Rugiet has done it.

Do Try This At Home

There’s a lot of great reasons to try ED meds. They can help get your sex life back on track. They can help you reconnect with your partner. They can increase your confidence. They’re honestly a lot of fun. But please, learn from my experience. Don’t go on an ED med taste test.

Instead, stick with the meds that are consistently the best tasting: Hello Cake ED Meds. They dissolve faster than the rest, which means that they kick in faster, and their ingredient combo is the most effective I’ve found. Plus, with the three flavor options, you won’t have a hard time finding one that you (and whoever you’re enjoying them with) will love.
