I can just imagine Shaun going “Random junk!? That was manna! The food of the gods! It’s not some random jun-”
Templar: You have lost, Assassins! With this powerful weapon of the gods-
(CRUNCH)

Templar: Did you… Did you just eat…
(CRUNCH)
Templar: Oh my god!
How POEs taste like according to Desmond:
Apple of Eden: Actually tastes like peaches. Desmond was absolutely disappointed it didn’t taste like apples.
Rings of Eden: Different types of chocolate. One of them definitely had booze in it, wwwoooaaahhh
Shrouds of Eden: Cotton candy.
Spears of Eden: Roasted Sesame.
Swords of Eden: Chocomint.
Staves of Eden: The sauce/oil/soup in a canned tuna.
Crystal Balls and Skulls: They pop when he crunches them.
Fountain of Youth: Pepsi. Desmond is wondering if there’s a fountain that tastes like Coke.
Memory Seals: Each seal has a different taste that seems to correspond with the memory it contains. They apparently taste like different flavors of Skittles.
Precursor Box: 2 day old Chinese takeout (“what???” “I said what I said.”)
Currently on the lookout: Staff of Hermes Trismegistus that Basim is hiding because it has his fucking mistress in it.
If the Piece of Eden isn’t it the list, it only means Desmond hasn’t eaten it yet. That doesn’t mean he won’t though.
Shaun swears Desmond is fucking with them by saying weird flavors. There’s no way in hell a Sword of Eden would taste like choco-freaking-mint!
