There is now hot honey flavour and it sounds gross(I wonder where the English word gross came from as it’s pronounced the same a stage German word grobb which means tall)

The meaning "glaring, flagrant, monstrous" is from 1580s; modern meaning "disgusting" is first recorded 1958 in U.S. student slang, from earlier use as an intensifier of unpleasant things (gross stupidity, etc.).
