    We've all heard of the things our minds can do with placebos etc. but this is prob the easiest test and it comes down to taste..

    What you do is tilt your head back slightly, put your tongue out and pretend to a shake a salt shaker into your mouth..
    If ya do this for a few seconds, you can actually get a salty taste in the back of your throat.

    Post if it works :cool:

    OP I dont like salt so I tried to do this with an imaginary ketchup bottle.

    While I was doing it the ketchup wouldn't come out so I hit it a little tap on its imaginary bottle base and now :mad: I have an imaginary ketchup stain all over my shirt and Im not happy!

    Power of the mind indeed :mad::mad:

    Most self proclaimed free speech absolutists are giant big whiny snowflakes!

    When I first saw this thread earlier, the first title I saw on the main page on exiting this thread was "what would human taste like?"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,917 ✭✭✭✭iguana


    Anyone that it worked for should know that it's probably just the salty snot in your sinuses sliding back your throat.:cool:
