Very fun amd informative

Used these for our troops Senses Investigative Work. The troops loved it. There were 100 strips, so I also took them to work and had my coworkers try them. We had a great laugh at the Supertasters faces. Many said it tastes like BC Asprin. I wouldn't know, for I am not a Supertaster.

Taster and Non-taster

My husband and I tried the strips. He could not taste anything but paper. To me, the strip tasted more like alcohol than bitter. Don't know what that means. Definitely had a lingering taste, but not terrible. Had to rinse my mouth a couple of times to get rid of it. The only negative is that there are no instructions that come with it. I had to find a website that said not to eat or drink before using it.

Love this paper

I’m a science teacher and love having activities. When we do the traits activity, ptc paper tasting is part of it. Since I have the gene for tasting ptc paper, it’s fun to watch all the faces of those who also have it. The paper is horrible tasting.

Such a Cool Test!!

I got this because I believed my niece and I are supertasters. Turns out we are!! So is my sister and her other children. The only one who tried this test that tasted nothing was my mom. It was so easy and simple to use that even my 3 year old nephew did it right.

Does it work?

I haven't found a single person that says it tastes bitter. Maybe no one I know has the gene.... or this is a genius ploy to sell tiny pieces of paper.... either way, just buy it. If it doesn't work, at least your helping someone make there millions.

Fun, we're not super tasters, unique, good experience.

SooooooI guess we here in our home are not super tasters. Bummer.I didn't even know of such a title until a facebook friend mentioned these test strip thingies you could get to test how sensitive your palette was. She said that herself the strips (not these, same thing different brand) she couldn't taste anything but her husband tried it and immediately gagged it was so bitter for him!Well of course my first thought was "We want to gag too!!!" Er...... well not really but I was very curious about this whole palette super taster thingy and when I found out the ridiculously cheap price for 100 of these strips, well....game on. We'll see who is super...My friend is in another country and she had to pay twice as much for only THREE strips.So at the very least I can confirm this is an excellent deal!The only thing is apparently neither my husband or myself are super tasters. What the what? I have never been so disappointed to not gag or taste bitter.... *sniff*I felt a little silly laying out funds for these but the thing is, it's a cheap thrill and it really did satisfy my curiosity. Plus with sooooo many of the little strips I was able to pass them along to some one else who assured me they were going to make all their friends try them. hahaSo, this is like a really weird pay it forward type situation I got myself in to.Anways, I presume they work....and under that assumption I have to believe I am not a super taster...super yes...but my palette is not that sensitive. No problem, bring on the bold red wines, dark roast coffees and garlic. I can take it ;)These were fun and I could see them being a really unique/peculiar/funny stocking stuffer or something... party favor? haha
