@bethikus nerdimus: Then as a supertaster, what do you reeeeeally enjoy?

@bethikus nerdimus: Hate... chocolate? This is definitely a foreign concept to me. Is it the taste or the sweetness? I really like dark chocolate because it isn't as sweet I guess.

I'm not a supertaster but I do find things that contain a high percentage of sugar cause my tongue to feel painful.
