Food #1

When I ate the food it tasted (with my noise blocked) sweet and crunchy and when I took my hand away from my noise I tasted an apple

Food #2 

After I ate it, it felt crunchy too and bitter and when I unblocked my noise, I straight away knew what it tasted like, it tasted like an onion

Food #3

When I ate it, I tasted nothing but was still crunchy however when I took my hand out, I felt like taking it out because it tasted like a raw potato  

Food #4

It’s tasted sweet and felt sticky and when I took my hand out it tasted like a raspberry gummy candy 

Food #5

This one tasted sweet but a little sour afterwards 

Foods #6

This sixth one tasted really sweet and would make sense since it was sugar 

Food #7

When I ate it, it tasted salty and unfortunately I was correct

Food #8

As soon as I ate it, I couldn’t handle it already and when I let go I wanted to spit it out since it tasted like baking soda

Food #9

This last one tasted sour and that guessed was a good cause it was sour

Food #10

Never mind this one is the last one and it tasted sour-ish and when I took my hand out it tasted sweet-ish and sour-ish

I found out that I can taste better when I can breath through my noise and I also learnt that you should never eat these foods in a row since your stomach is going to hurt 

Discussion:
