80% of what we consider taste is actually smell. You have only five taste receptors which perceive the taste of sweet, sour, bitter, salty and umami flavours.

 

On the other hand your smell receptors perceive thousands of flavours which primarily gives the food it's taste. That's whenever you get fever and you lose your sense of smell your food tastes dull.

Damn you guys are learning a lot. All of this in one frigging day!!:afraid:

Most of what newly I learn in a day is when I come across browsing Internet, SM, news or talk to somebody .

That is a great TIL

TIL that Brunei is a rich county with very high PPP of $86,000 . The king is a rich bastard with 7000 super car collection and a golden toilet seat. I’m not sure how many wives he has, @velu can probably shed some light on that.

The Brunei king's brother is a big time womaniser. He used to maintain a Harem full of women from all over the world. For more details read the book "Some Girls: My life in a Harem".

Looks like the brother is an even bigger screw up.
