Ways to awaken my taste buds

[DreamerDreaming]

Anybody know any good ideas on shocking my taste buds or at least waking them up, just getting over a head cold so I'm curious

Hydration and, this may sound strange but coffee grounds. Taste tasters use coffee grounds to reset their taste buds. Just open a can coffee and take in a few deep breaths of the coffee smell. It does work.

Coffee grounds or coffee beans are used at perfume counters, after you smell one perfume you take a sniff of the coffee beans and you can smell the next fragrance. I can see how that would do the same for taste.

80% of taste is actually due to what you smell.  This is why you cannot taste foods well if you have a cold, or stuffy nose.  The remaining 20% is actually from your taste buds (which really only pick-up tart/salt/sweet), and dehydration stops your taste buds from doing their job.

And if you're vaping one flavor for too long and can't taste it any more, change to a different flavor that's totally different from the first one to change it up a bit. Helps to reset the taste buds for vaping.
