Dulce de Leche tastes like burnt plastic?

[stayinwonderland]

I sometimes feel like the word 'subjective' needs to be banned from the vaper lexicon. If tastes were, as you say, 'mighty' subjective, there would be no best selling eliquids or flavour reviews as one man's GVC would taste like cheese and onion monster munch to another. But as that's one of the highest rated liquids in the UK, we can establish some consistency.

Same with women. Not everyone finds megan fox attractive as taste is subjective, but I'm guessing if I threw a stone in a crowd of single straight men, it would land on someone who would bone her about 99 stones out of 100. Uh-oh, side track.

*swerve*

But with DDL, I am hoping that in a few weeks it won't taste like melted plastic - but I doubt it. This is my point, why would it taste SO damn foul when everyone raves about it. That's frustrating. I should make up a batch and send it to someone who likes the flavour and they could tell me.

Okay, no worries, then I'll say that you have the taste buds of a sea-dwelling bottom-feeder with nerve damage.
GVC doesn't rock my world, nor does Megan Fox (Though I wouldn't say no if my life depended on it ).

Me, I don't get anything stunning from Snake Oil either, but if I said that out loud, I'd probably be lynched.

Also, the public like X-Factor, got behind Hitler in a big way in Germany at one point, and find it acceptable to allow Olly Murs.

So, fuck the public, the public is deranged.

As I was saying, taste is subjective.


Edit: Mighty subjective

There are best selling liquids because of fashion. I like Cheese and Onion Monster Munch and I can't stand GVC (or any of the custard flavours I've tried)

Taste (like all the senses) is just electrical signals being interpreted by your brain. Different people have different sense instruments, noone has the same tongue, some people have a LOT more tastebuds than others, and if you're a 'supertaster' then you'll often pick out flavour notes in food or in e-liquids that noone else gets.
There are also genetic reasons why some people taste bitter much more strongly than others do, and there's a fruit called bignay that tastes bitter if you have the "right" genes and sweet if you're one of the approximately 25% of people that can't taste the chemical propylthiouracil.

(It's evolutions fault, bitter tastes back in the hunter gatherer days protected some of the population from eating poisonous foods and conferred an advantage on the people that had the bitter tasting genes, bitter usually means poisonous in food stuffs)
