Have you wondered how can you taste your food/beverage etc? Well lets try this simple experiment!

Materials Required:
Punch Hole machine
Sheet Of Paper
Cotton Ball

Instructions

 Use A punch hole machine to make a small hole in the sheet of paper.

Take a cotton ball, dip in in the food coloring and wipe the color on your entire tongue

Put the colored part of your tongue through the hole, in the paper and look in the mirror. Count the round bumps in the paper hole.

If you have 25 or more than 25 bumps, it means your taste is very sensitive ie; your sense of taste is awesome!!! If you have below this number you are a ordinary taster.

• The more taste buds you have the better your sense of taste is
• Taste buds are replaced every 1 to 2 weeks.
