2.6 I am a Tongue

Tastes:
  • cream
  • lemon
  • chocolate cake
  • Wagyu beef
  • bubbles formed by a bubble blower toy (i.e. made of dish-washing liquid)
  • froth of banana shake
  • kani
Main Taste: Bubble

About a dozen thin clear, liquid-like spheres floated in the breeze. One floating sphere, enclosing air, landed on a tongue and popped; air molecules inside of it joined the bigger sea of air molecules around, while the remaining liquid stayed on top of the tongue. The tongue found it repulsively disgusting with a mix of bitter and an chemical taste without category. It must have been the "umami." The air that rushed out of the sphere after it popped gave a strong, unpleasant aftertaste.
