This series is so good!
I’m surprised an industry taste expert didn’t know the Kool-Aid Man.
I wonder what the taste of vocal fry is like..
I want more!! That was so fun to watch
3:57 maybe it’s huckleberry?
3:18 great image description, thank you for including that!!
I had to look this up.
Essential oils are called “essential” because they contain the concentrated “essence of” the plant’s fragrance and flavor. The name refers to the plant’s unique aromatic and characteristic properties, not the modern English meaning of “indispensable” or “nutritionally required”
OMG PHANTOM SMELLS I got covid and to this day mean peanut butter tastes and smells the same as smoke except I stopped eating peanut butter but still always smelling smoke so the weird smell of the smoke left and now peanut butter just has the same weird a** smell😭I thought I was crazy
I have questions: why does cilantro taste like soap to some people? Do other primates (monkeys, chimpanzees, gorillas) have the same taste receptors as humans?
Can’t listen to the vocal fry. It’s so distracting, I can’t even hear the words! How did this get to be such a thing now? you see so many young women go into the vocal fry – is it “contagious”? Does anyone know why it’s so much more prevalent now? Or is it just because there’s so many more people we can watch? 🤷🏻♀️
Beth Kimmerle, your expertise shines tbrough.
Your Coca Cola answer confirmed my senses that Coke has some sarsaparilla or a flavor like it.
Overall, very informative. Thanks.
Hey Kids, this is why you dont smoke
I never want to hear these T-Mobile douches yelling ever again.
I like her!
4 ads in 2 minutes. This is absurd.
I loathe your gravel
I feel like sour makes my mouth water and tart makes it dry.
She is fabulous❣️ BUT why do I think a hispanic janitor had something to do with flamin’ hot cheetos?!??
Im probably the only happy person to lose the sense of smell.
8:12 Im a supertaster, it is a curse, not a blessing. Like she says, bitterness is greatly amplified. I cannot eat greens hardly at all because of the bitterness and they do make me gag. I need to basically cook out all they’re nutritional value before I can eat them without throwing up. Same thing with beer, anything bitter, it’s like chewing on aspirin.
