bitter
Koopa Troopa is in the basement of the house, looking for some snacks to eat. On top of a headstone that sticks out of the cement ground is a bunch of flowers. He takes a handful of them and starts eating them. Of course, they are quite bitter, and he spits out the half-chewed flowers back onto the top of the headstone. Even turtles don't like bitter food.
