Apple, Potato & Onion

Yeah, its like having a cold. Have you ever wondered why food seem tasteless when you have a cold? It's not your taste buds' fault. Blame your stuffed-up nose. Seventy to seventy-five percent of what we perceive as taste actually comes from our sense of smell. Taste buds allow us to perceive only bitter, salty, sweet, and sour flavors. It's the odor molecules from food that give us most of our taste sensation.

In science classes across America, children test this theory themselves. They are blindfolded, have their noses plugged, and given an apple or onion to eat – they are not told which of the two we would be given. Not one person is able to state which was which. This shows the incredibly important part that the nose plays in the sense of taste. The fact that the three items have a similar consistency makes it virtually impossible to tell them apart without the sense of smell.
