Doubt that - oil is not soluble in water (ie saliva) but you can certainly taste it.As for fact 10.....am sure it's true.

In the interests of science and education, I will happily submit to you my own thumb and anything else required to verify this assertion, for inspection. I think you'll find everything in order.Penny-lope said:

Nope, my Dad hasn't had a sense of smell for 30+ years now but his sense of taste hasn't been diminished at all. )MaximumJed said:
