So the thread of super taster has spurred on a topic that has interested me for a while, CORIANDER! I hate the devils weed but lots of people love it. It would blow my mind that people could enjoy something so disgusting, until a couple years ago it was discovered that the hate of coriander was genetic.

Add to that the strawberry non-tasters and some blueberry concentrations reportedly tasting like soap I would hazard a guess that this too could be genetic...

Do people taste things the same way... No, based on your genes

We did a simple genetics experiment at varsity. Professor put a small vial of clear liquid on everyone's desk. He stated that genetics dictates that 50% of people will taste nothing, while the rest will taste a bitter flavour.

We all drank the liquid (trusting as we were), and the results were about 49-51. Very interesting class that day.
