I’m pretty sure I’m a supertaster. I would never be able to be a “taste expert”. Whenever there’s a hint of a taste I don’t like it overpowers anything else and that dish ends up tasting bad to me. (Yes I can still feel other tastes but the “bad” one is all I can taste). For example I’ve never been tricked into eatibg vegetables as a child. I would always taste them no matter how well hidden they were or how little flavor they were supposed to have in the dish.

So the whole taste-bud tongue region mapping thing… I learned about that in grade school but now realize it was debunked. The question is: How did scientists come up with something so wildly incorrect to begin with? Were they even scientists or just dummies makin’ crap up? I know scientists make mistakes like anyone. With a follow-up analysis it is usually pretty clear where they went wrong. But for this it just seems like the sort of thing that would have to be totally fabricated.

Phony broad fails at the first question. Why differentiate between lactic sour, acetic sour and basic sour, giving buttermilk, vinegar and citric acid as examples, with citric acid as basic, when it is obviously an acid? Clue is in the name, Brunhilde. Also, no taste in dress.

When she said basic sour, I was thrown back to my 300-level chemistry professor’s ranting about how sour is just your tongue’s detection of acidity greater than water and bitter is your tongue’s detection of a base stronger than water.

Really use those covid remedies to bring back taste and smell.
Mine were: Lavender (paired with the memory of my girlfriend spraying some before going to sleep), Lemon (paired with the memory of making tzatziki), cinammon (paired with the memory of putting cinnamon on oatmeal) and oregano (paired with the memory of sprinkling some on my pizza at the pizza place down the street.) twenty seconds for each smell and memory. One minute off between smells.

I quit smoking (which effects your sense of smell and taste) after a few decades of heavy smoking, and when my senses we’re coming back I started tasting cloves, and nutmeg flavors in Coke! It happen a lot with tons of different foods, but the Coke one stands out to me because I was so shocked!

You mentioned phantom smells after COVID and that it goes away eventually, but you didn’t go into a lot of detail. I had COVID in January; I did not lose my taste or smell, but I did develop a horrible smoky smell that is almost constant. When it gets really bad (smells like someone is smoking a pipe right next to me), it causes migraine-like headaches. The only issue with taste is that I can’t seem to eat cilantro anymore which I used to love. It tastes rotten and the smell is horrific! Would smelling the essential oils regularly help with the phantom smell and cilantro? I can smell everything else just fine. Or would you suggest another method? And when are most people noticing that the phantom smell has disappeared? Thank you.

Blue raspberry is actually just raspberry flavour that has a blue colour. It was invented during a scare around red food colouring, also because there are a lot of red coloured flavours and blue helps it stand out, also kids just love blue foods. It was made by a sno cone manufacturer I’m pretty sure, and was so popular everyone else copied it. There’s a whole article about it on wikipedia which is a pretty interesting read

I looked into the study she discusses at 10:15 and apparently it’s rife with flaws and not at all how she describes it here. The participants were undergrads studying oenology, not experts. In addition, the study hasn’t even been published relating to taste, only odor. Seems like this is just another example of the media misinterpreting scientific studies, then people (and apparently YouTube channels) just believing it without fact checking anything.

You are way off with the Coca cola. Minty? Fruity? Sassafras?! Wow. Are you really a professional taster? Did you lhave Covid? There’s no kola nut in it. Even if there was, it wouldn’t be the main flavor. Kola nuts are simply bitter. Coca Cola flavor is Cinnamon, Vanilla and citrus with a touch of nutmeg and coriander. While the exact recipe for Coke is proprietary, the basic flavor blend is well known by flavorists and published in standard industry works like Merory.

Flamin Hot Cheetos was a bad example because that kinda was invented by one person. A factory worker that put chili powder on his cheetos somehow got the idea upstairs, or something along those lines. Maybe the company perfected it but that guy does exist 😆

I’m a supertaster, and I’m such a foodie. Things that taste good taste really good, and things that taste bad taste really bad. I love isberg lettuce, it has a lot of different tastes in it, while everyone else is like “Doesn’t taste much, but the stem is kind of bitter” and they think it’s the most boring vegetable ever. On the other hand, I feel like some other types of lettuces and green leafy things can be a little bit to much.
My partner is not a supertaster. When we try a new recipe we rate the taste, and my partner almost always give the food 3/5, while I almost exclusively give the food anything but 3/5.
Though, I don’t really like the word “supertaster”, it sounds like I’m trying to brag, when I actually just want to explain to people why I have very strong positive or negative taste reactions to different foods.

I always just assumed “blue raspberry” was just because typically red is used for cherry or strawberry in most fruit flavored candies/drinks, and since nothing else really fills the blue color, they just colored raspberry flavored things blue.

I have a question…
I eat a lot of spicy (hot) food and over the years I feel that I have become more tolerant or immune to the heat. So nowadays I can eat and enjoy food a lot hotter than I could when I was younger?
Why is this? Does the “heat” cause damage to the taste receptors over time?

Everything was great except the part about wasabi. Wasabi is not spicier than horseradish, quite the opposite in fact. What you are getting at every sushi restaurant unless you are spending $$$$ is actually just horseradish with food coloring. This is what is so spicy. Real fresh grated wasabi is actually much milder and has a really wonderful unique taste. But wasabi rhizomes tend to cost around $100/lb so it’s not a common ingredient except at very fancy sushi restaurants

regarding the Flaming Hot thing:
Granted, although it was years ago, and I don’t know how true it is, but I heard that the flavor was originally suggested by a Mexican janitor at Frito-Lay, inspired by elotes. So in a way, he did make the flaming hot flavor. Supposedly, said janitor is now in a much higher up position now.
Also, doesn’t Starburst already have a cherry flavor, which is red? They probably just didn’t want two flavors with the exact same color, so they made strawberry pink.

Candles, air fresheners, perfumes etc etc, my nose would usually sting a bit but not in a painful ‘you should stop doing this’ way, it was more like my nose knew it should be able to smell something but it couldnt? My smell could have just come back naturally but I’m pretty certain this helped ✌🏻

I think a lot of these sort of processes are actually really important for people to understand on at least a basic level. I support “natural” foods and so forth, but I’m pretty dismayed and eye-rolling at how many who don’t even understand the science and thought which go into creating flavors are just out there caterwauling about the evil processed food and so forth. Some foods taste the way they taste because of science and that in itself is not sinister just because it may seem difficult for people to understand. I even see posts rambling about how there’s random deadly chemicals in this food and that food, stuff which is just complete lies but people don’t know any better so they take it as gospel.
Leighton Sprayberry

The smell of garlic and onions, relative plants to eachother, get in your bloodstream and that blood goes to your lungs. The lungs become saturated with this Sulphur and that’s why it lasts so long, your liver and kidneys need to filter it out. Also some people can’t clear it out efficiently and can have “garlic breath” for days.

Asking what Coca Cola tastes like is like asking what is common to original non-carbonated Pemberton medicinal (with cocaine) and the so called ‘real taste’ of today’s carbonated classic coke, or vanilla coke, or fanta coke, or cherry coke, or diet coke, or caffeine efree coke, or zero coke, or sugar free coke or any other of the wide range of ‘Real Thing’.
In other words, the taste of the ‘real thing’ is whatever flavoured, sugary fizzy water the individual chooses.

Well, for most people it probably tastes like horseradish with a bit of mustard, since most people have never actually had wasabi and what they have actually eaten with their sushi is exactly what I said, horseradish with a bit of mustard and green coloring… Unless you’ve seen the actual wasabi root grinded up in front of you, chances are you’ve never had wasabi at all…

To Wasabi: People often think the “Hotness” eaquals the “Taste”. Nope, that is not the case – at least not entirely.
Wasabi has much more “Taste” as most Horseradish, but I ate Horseradish much “hotter” than Wasabi.
Also, most “Wasabi” isn’t even real Wasabi or just contains a minimal amount of it.
Real Wasabi is expensive af and hard to get outside of Japan.

I’m a bartender, and I also agree Pepsi is sweeter than Coke. While most people ask for X and Coke, often times they are getting x and Pepsi.
Also, concerning the difference in flavour between bottled and post mix, Post mix systems aren’t always calibrated for the same ratio of syrup to carbonated water as the bottling manufacturer. Plus flavours can be picked up through the post mix lines, and with most bar guns, there is usually remnants of the last drink poured in the mixer head when the next drink is started

8:55 About this test: Having more than 35 papillae doesn’t makes a person a supertaster. The amount of papillae a person has, has nothing to do with the sense of taste. It’s a genetical matter. Supertasters have a special variation of the gene “TAS2R38”. There’s this new study about this: “Crowdsourcing taste research: genetic and phenotypic predictors of bitter taste perception as a model”, Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience (doi: 10.3389/fnint.2014.00033, 27.5.2014).

some of these answers are a bit misleading. real wasabi doesnt taste like horseradish, but in america real wasabi is very expensive, so wasabi you get at most low and mid-range sushi restaurants (and grocery stores) is just horseradish dyed green. thats why people think it tastes like horseradish here. actual ground wasabi root is very different.

Pretty much in all cases wasabi paste will be horseradish, mustard and like 1% if( you’re lucky) of actual wasabi. The actual wasabi is very expensive, so in many restaurants that offer wasabi, it’ll be grinded up in front of you to prove you that what you’re getting is real wasabi. So when people say “wasabi” tastes like horseradish, its cause it pretty much is just that.

AliceLycoris
June 22, 2022 at 1:21 am
Interesting note: Real wasabi is difficult to cultivate and package and ship. It also grows only in a specific riverbank environment, which makes real wasabi expensive and in low supply. When young, real wasabi is a bit sweet not spicy. The “wasabi” that comes with your sushi dinner in America, or really anywhere outside Japan, is most often just horseradish with green food coloring. This green-dyed horseradish replacing actual wasabi is known in the food world as an ersatz or a replica food.

The one about the hot cheetos, to answer it, it was supposedly thought of by one person, a Mexican-American man by the name of Richard Montanez, who was a maintenance worker/janitor in one of Frito Lay’s factories, coming up with the idea and presenting it to a board, he’s now a company executive. However, there’s a lot of controversy over whether he actually did, or if he made it up, or whatever the case may be, thought it was worth mentioning

No questions, about banana flavor and why it doesn’t taste like bananas?

My old man is a supertaster, it’s why he’s such a picky eater. He freaking hates it because he wishes he could eat like me whereas I can basically eat anything. To me, broccoli has a kind of almost sweet bitterness to it, but to my dad, the broccoli is just massively bitter. I feel bad for supertasters.

Citric acid candies are not too bad. It’s when you eat a bunch of the fumaric acid covered Xtreme sour candies that you’ll get a hole in your tongue.

This has been one of the most informative and entertaining ones I’ve seen so far. She’s brilliant.

That first question really needs a linguist to answer it. The difference is not in the actual taste, which is basically the same flavour like Beth says, but rather in one’s attitude towards that taste. Although sour can be used as a neutral descriptor of flavour, it does have an inherently negative connotation to it, as demonstrated in phrases like “sour (rancid) milk” or “a sour look”. So when one wants to describe something as sour in flavour but avoid implying any negative connotation or disapproval of that sourness, the word ‘tart’ will commonly be used instead.

John Lee supertaster tastes more than we know, everything has a flavor some flavors are too much.

Okay but like….. how did NOBODY ask about why cilantro tastes like soap to some people??

About bottle vs gun Sprite. Bottled/canned is more homogenous, and if you assume bottles have taste then you must assume piping has a taste too, especially if it’s not properly cleaned.

So could being a “supertaster” explain being a fussy eater?

Wired spreading pseudo science and shilling essential oils as a miracle cure? I never thought I’d see the day.

I feel like she just answered for me why Coke in a glass bottle tastes so much better than a plastic one.

I do a lot of baking, and sometimes put in too much baking powder/soda. It’s such a distinct flavor, it’s instantly recognizable, but it’s not particularly sour, sweet, bitter, or spicy… How would this be classified???

she’s wrong. Richard Montanez created the flavor of Hot Cheetos when he was a janitor, i saw a lil documentary video on him. giving credit where credit is due. ♥️

I don’t know how true it is. But I’ve heard a story about hot cheetos. About how a janitor at the frito factory came up with the idea.

Blue raspberries are a real thing! Or a least have a real-world counterpart. Whitebark raspberries (scientific name – Rubus Leucodermis) are said to be the origin of the flavor. They are closely related to blackberries and are a purplish-blue color, which is why they are also known as black raspberries or straight up called blue raspberries

I read once that Flamin’ Hot was invented by one person, a Mexican-American janitor at Frito Lay, Richard Montañez

In America, they often use horseradish to make fake wasabi. It is rare in USA to get real wasabi.

She doesn’t know that there actually was a person who invented the flaming hot flavor profile. He was a Hispanic employee who put his own seasoning on his cheetos and then he entered a company contest and won and eventually got a big promotion.

she actually kinda accidentally answered the blue raspberry question later in the video when she points out that red food colouring has been seen as dangerous; that’s around the time blue raspberry came to exist
