And a wide-screen Viddler player! wOOt!
That’s just how we roll!
Jesus. Here I was thinking that was the Viddler Beta player, but Colin just told me that you could always resize the dimensions. Doh!
Did you steal that glass from the Standard Tap?
I’m pretty sure the dude is just a taster…i did this test and i had to pull it out of my mouth right away b/c it was disgusting you’d have a SUPER bad reaction to it
How is that guy a supertaster? To me he’s a regular taster. When my twin sister and I did this test (separately from each other), we both had to run to the washroom to rinse our mouths out!
Dude! You are so NOT a supertaster! A supertaster would not be able to tolerate it AT ALL! At best you are a “taster”. Get over yourself.
Also, you don’t have to practically shove the thing up your nose to smell it…and then put it in your mouth. Totally disgusting. Ewwwwwww!
he is NOT a supertaster. when i did this test, i spat the strip out, leapt across the table for a glass of water, and gagged for at least 15 minutes (followed by a bitter aftertaste for at least an hour). trust me, it’s unpleasant. no way a guy saying “hmm, this is really bitter” while still swirling the strip around in his mouth is a supertaster. sorry bud.
Awesome video! What a weird phenomena… I might be a form of evolution. I must try the test! Scott you are a wit! I loled.
That was fantastic. A friend told me he thinks I might be a supertaster. I just have to find out now.
That thing was horrible. It was bitter in like 2 -5 seconds. Disgusting.
Why does she say “it made me gag – but tasted nothing”. Why did she gag then?
I work at a museum where we literally pass out 15 to 20 thousand of these strips per year. Scott is definitely NOT a supertaster! A true supertaster will cringe upon touching a tiny portion of the strip to the wet tip of his/her tongue. About 2/3 of the people we test are tasters, ranging from mild to super taster, while the remaining third taste only paper.
That was the grossest piece of paper that I have ever tasted. I couldn’t get the taste out of my mouth for over a half hour. I guess that is why I’m a picky eater.
