I read this thing in New Scientist that tells you how to work out the strength of your taste.
What you need: Blue food colouring, a hole reinforcer, and possibly magnifying mirror.
What you do: Put a drop of the food colouring on your tongue. If you look closely, you should see little pink thingies standing up from the blue. (these contain your tastebuds) You need to stick a hole reinforcer on the middle of your tongue, and count the number of pink thingies in the hole.
If you have around 20, you are a normal taster.
If you have 50 or more, you are a super taster.
If you have less than 5, you are a non taster.
When I tried this, I put far too much food colouring on my tongue and got it all over my hands and around my mouth as well... Luckily it's mostly come off now.
You can probably do it without the blue food colouring if you are scared of this happening...
Anyway, I come out as a super taster, which explains why I'm so picky about food.
What be you?
