    My daughter and I did this for one of her science projects. I would drop lemon juice or sugar water somewhere on her tongue, and she was able to taste everything everywhere.

    It was so long ago I don’t remember, but I hope we got a good grade on that one!

      The lesson is to give the authority figure the answer they want to hear so they’ll leave you alone!

      Same experiment I had lol. Had to pat down our tongues with a paper towel and then put sugar/lemon/pepper and whatever else on it :3 and yeah, I very much could taste everything everywhere haha
