They tried it, they love it. You tried it, you don't.

This thread really makes me wonder if things taste the same to people. I mean, do our taste buds function different to make us tolerate or not tolerate so many different flavors? Is it the way our brains process the stimulus from the taste buds? Sensation and perception was one of my favorite courses in grad school the first time around. It really made me wonder.. does red look the same to everybody? Or is my red someone else's blue but we've named it a certain thing. We have no way of knowing how others perceive the same things and there is no way to measure this. It's one of those things that can keep me awake at night if I think about it too hard. I had thought about it with colors before, but not with tastes. Must stop thinking.
