Re: What does Mountain Dew smell like?

In Response To: What does Mountain Dew smell like? (davidfuchs)


: I really like soda flavorings, but I can't imagine what the scents be. People
: say that "looks/tastes/gives me the runs like Mountain Dew", but
: I've never heard someone talk about the smell of soft drinks.

Hmm. I think for the most part it would smell exactly the way that it tastes. Smell and taste share many of the same neurological pathways, and in fact most of what you "taste" is actually smell.

Your physical taste receptors are limited to the four (or five if you're new-school) "kinds" of taste:
Sweet, bitter, salty, sour (and savory - or umami).

The specific flavors of food that you can actually think of and reflect on are mostly the smell of the food as stored in your ol' factory ;)

But then, I'm no scientist...
