    Supertasters

    Supertasters are the double-jointed gymnasts of the food world, only way more common.

    Are you a supertaster? A supertasters is a person who "may experience an overall higher level of tasting ability than others" due to a high fungiform papillae count on the tongue. It's not always a good thing. (Thanks for the tip!)
