Tastes like anise huh? Well, I'll keep my understanding of absinthe limited to what I got out of Eurotrip then.

After Raki in Turkey, Ouzo in Greece, and jackass compatiriots who feel obligated to give you drinks containing Jaeger, I will say this about anise liquor. I taste it, I puke. From a dead sober start. Bleeehhh! Must go clean out mind with bourbon!

No, I mean it - it's not absinthe by any stretch. It's FDA-approved food dyed ouzo.

There is a site that reviews absinthes called the Wormwood Society.

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

i have tried both the genuine article overseas and the pseudostuff, Absente.  NOt a huge fan of licorice, I can do without both.  Now I occasionally the slightest dose in a more or less genuine Sazerac and cannot say I would miss it if it were left out.

If your glass is going to start talking to you, I suppose Hello Kitty is a good choice.
