I don't think they are necessarily mutually exclusive. In the VAST majority of cases, I fall in the middle somewhere. I believe I fall in the "sensitive taster" category, but not quite the super taster. I think non super tasters CAN have an aversion to saccharin, and I think some super tasters DON'T have the aversion. I don't think one necessarily HAS to follow the other. I think it actually falls on a different part of the same chromosome, genetically.

GAH, you've thought about this a lot, haven't you?

I just think that artificial sweeteners taste bitter and they linger way too long.

And my cousin, the nutrition professor, calls me a "SuperTaster."

What does GAH mean?

I didn't think about it a lot, just learned about it in school. You could very well be a "super taster". I didn't mean to imply that you weren't. What level of "taster" you are depends on the number of taste buds per square inch of tongue you have. Your ability to taste artificial sweeteners in a genetic predisposition independent of your number of taste buds. However, the number of taste buds could potentially affect the LEVEL of your revulsion. ;)

It's an interjection

Interjections (Hey!) show excitement (Yow!) or emotion (Ouch!).
They're generally set apart from a sentence by an exclamation point,
Or by a comma when the feeling's not as strong.[/quote]

Please don't ever use that word to express your excitement for ME!!!

The one thread over yonder that looked interesting was closed after about 5 posts. It's the "how famous are you on DBR" thread. No explanation for the closing. Goofiness.

Hey slacker, you wasted time looking over yonder and you could have drafted us with about 100 posts!!!! Where are your priorities!!!! I am going at a rate of about 1-2 per minute! My objective is to hit another 100 with 60. Guess I must boost my output!!!

I don't think I can be a supertaster, since they are also supposed to have aversions to things like coffee (clearly not) and spicy foods (definitely not).

I don't like coffee, unless it's served with a lot of cream and sugar.

Don't I make you a MEAN cup of JAVA? with a vanilla twist?

It has lots of cream and sugar in it.

I understand my sweet! Let's get the Tivo going, go to Washington and wave at the camera and then we can watch ourselves to "infinity and beyond"!!!!!! ;)

But the Washington TV station's traffic cam is here in Greenville.

Does anyone watch the Evening News any more? It was a staple of my childhood and my parents still watch it every night. But as for me, I haven't seen it since I was last at my parent's house.

What about OREOS?

I love whole MILK, 1/2% milk, can't understand why anyone would want to drink skim milk and I love Chocolate Milk!!! I can handle strawberry milk, but these days, only buy it for my daughter who loves it in moderation.

You left some chocolate milk in my fridge.

I was thinking that as I wrote this! I am surprised neither of your boys touched it! I am NOT THAT scary! Ya know I am just a big teddy bear!!!! :oops: :oops: :oops: I told them both to help themselves!!!!

They'd rather mix their own chocolate milk.

But, of course! Will you pose for a picture with me?[/quote]

Ummm, I think that answer is self evident! Who doesn't want to have your beauty shine upon them!!!!

[Rolvix]

We should be able to make it.

[CathyCA]

Cool, you took the coffee maker upstairs? One or Two cups?

So far, two mugs.

Did I already say "GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO girl!!!!!" You can do it!!!!

Don't feel too bad about it. The first thing I noticed about the good looking fireman stepping out of the truck at the block party was the ring on his left hand. I still admired God's handiwork.

Rings, or the lack thereof, tell very little about the person wearing them.

Yeah, rings may or may not tell the real story. But then, sometimes the person doesn't either.

How well I know.

[cl15876]

That probably won't happen any time soon.

Come on now, am I am hearing Ms. Negativity coming out? YES, YOU CAN ... YES, YOU CAN ..., YES YOU CAN....

That word makes me think of pistachio. I love pistachio pudding.

I love Watergate salad. It has pistachio pudding in it. And marshmallows. And crushed pineapple. And Cool Whip.

He'll surge ahead of me.
