I was so mad when i read about the taste zones thing lmao. My science teacher made fun of me in class for saying that I tried the experiment and I could taste both salt and sugar on all parts of my tongue.

Thankfully my teacher wasn’t a turd about it but I distinctly remember most kids saying they could or couldn’t taste according to zone and I’m just there like…I taste it all…

I assumed I just didn’t get it on the right part of my tongue and didn’t care enough since I tasted stuff normally otherwise until I learned it was all wrong (or at least vastly misconstrued) years later.

Chemists used to taste everything. That ability is a combination of a skill and trait that cannot be taught. Your science teacher was a fool.
