The Smell-Tasting Experiment



This video is very interesting it shows that if you are smelling something and it smells bad, but you are eating something that is delicious and you think it is gross because you are smelling something that is gross.  Sometimes they are smelling something good and eating something that is gross but they kind of find it good because of what they are smelling. This means that smell affects what you are eating a lot. I dont really think that what you are smelling needs to be so close to your nose to affect the flavor. I think simply how it smells where you are eating affects it. This experiment is very nice, helpful, funny, interesting, and yummy some of the food. I like this video. I know it is kind of long but is worth watching it because it is really helpful and probably someday you are going to learn this in science, and you will already know and it will be way easier. You have to watch it. Please comment and express your opinions.

  1. I remember doing this last science fair with Mariana. It was interesting, however, our experiment didn't work because they already knew what fruits we brought.

  2. I think this video is super funny. I find it really interesting that what you are smelling affects your taste.

  3. This video is so funny. I love the Gorgonzola/Octopus round when one of them vomits. I remember Cindy's and Mariana's experiment. Smell does affect your taste. It can make you like what you are eating (like the coffee/tomato round) or it can make you make weird sounds. I think I want to try this. This would be a great game to play at a sleep over!

  4. I thought this video was really funny. I was kind of grossed out when they had to eat the octopus, but it was still funny. I am glad that I was not doing this challenge I don't think I would have lasted in it.

  5. I love these videos, they are so funny. The last round had to be the best. It was hilarious to see their reactions, and how they felt about the things. If I had done that I probably would have thrown up during the last round, the minute the smell of the cheese his my nose. This would probably be the funniest experiment ever, and I really want to try it.

  6. This video was so funny. It was really interesting how smell affect your taste and I liked how they tested it. I really don't want to try this... I would literally throw up if I had to do this. I can't eat without looking at the food that I'm eating. But this video was really funny and interesting.

  7. Rhett and Link's videos are so entertaining. This video and idea was pretty funny. I'm just glad I wasn't on their end, tasting all those nasty combinations. Thanks for sharing!

  8. This video really made me laugh. I love Rhett and Link. This made me want to try and see if really works. They had a good idea about doing this at parties! It make some fun and interesting memories and stories.

  9. This was so hilarious! I was laughing so much in class , the thing is that i love to eat octopus but after seeing this video it made me want to throw up. That looked like a raw octopus. I want to try and to this to someone and just crack up the whole time.

  10. Yeah!! Rhett and Link! I love their videos, they are really entertaining and you can find cool stuff in them. I think I would have puked too with the cheese and the octopus, just imagining the smell and the texture of the octopus... Yuks! This was such an interesting experiment, thanks for sharing.

  11. Finally! There is proof that taste and smell have this mutuality when it comes to food! I seriously want to do this at home just for the fun of it and I am definitely going to use a smell-a-vator in the process. These guys are geniuses and I think they're awesome.

  12. I do see how the smell affects the taste of food, however they were still able to recognize what they were eating. This proves that it does not entirely change the taste of the food, but it does effect it. This looks like a really fun experiment though.

  13. It was very funny and also interesting. I knew that some average of the taste came from the nose, but if your were to combine both with different things. I will probably try to do it on someone house.

  14. Wait so that means that you could be eating a monstrosity but since you are smelling something nice, it will taste like the thing that you are smelling. This could be used for torture, or to get over the idea that you don't like one type of food, it is very interesting .

  15. I've had a cold for the past week, and nothing tastes good. What I've found, though, is that certain textures are substantially more appealing than others. The texture of hardboiled eggs, for example, is disgusting, but crispy things are fine.

  16. I would never want to try smelling tuna and eating brownies at the same time. It would be weird. I always wondered if poop tastes like the same as we smell it. Hmm.. However I really enjoyed the video and it actually made me think.
