A little background to this Mundane Pointless thing. As I write this, I have a Home Depot Gift Card in my mouth.
Home Depot Gift Cards taste remarkably similar to Taco Bell Tacos, if you took out the meat. They kinda taste like the shell.
If anyone else has any tastealike stories, I’m sure we’d all love to hear them.
Ran out of Twinkies? :dubious: I’m not sure I even want to know why you’re chewing a card.
______ tastes like chicken.
I’m sorry, I couldn’t resist. I’ll go now.
I once washed down a barbecue sandwich with a Diet Dr Pepper and got the unmistakable taste of Red Hots.
Well, my aunt and I share this comp desk, and she had a (I hope) used up gift card laying about, because…well, because we leave stuff laying about around here. I was playing with it, flicking it, bending it, tapping it on the desk whilst I moused around on some webcomics. I have a thing with putting things in my mouth. I like gum, I chew on pens, I’ve been known to chew on popcans, paper…I chew, okay?
Since I chew on things naturally, I put the card in my mouth and started to chew. I quirked up an eyebrow, wondered when I started eating Taco Bell, looked at the card, and started telling people about my discovery.
On a side note, why the heck is Alanis Morissette playing on my Classic Rock Station? Argh!
As my good deed for today, I’m making a formal wish that aren’t gay. 
Way back when, once upon a time, etc…
I had just gotten Talking Heads “Little Creatures” cassette, and every time I took it out of it’s little box to put it in my car deck, the aroma of taco seasoning would fill the air.
Now, I didn’t put the cassette in my mouth (not that I remember, anyway, but I really was a HUGE T-Heads fan, so maybe…), so I don’t know if it tasted the same way, but there’s got to be something about the way the plastic is processed…
Or else the way taco seasoning is processed…
Hmm, could it be that they make those out of some sort of corn-based plastic?
The taco shell or the gift card?
Worcetershire sauce + cayenne pepper = HP sauce.
I walked right into that one, didn’t I? :smack:
Canned cat food tastest sort of like stale crackers which is surprising really. I thought it’d be a meatier flavor going by the ingredients list.
Maybe it is, to a cat.
Alpha-Bits taste like skunk smell, when the skunk is smelt from a distance.
Marjorie Stewart Baxter tastes like sunshine dust.
…and Inigo Montoya beats me to the Salad Fingers reference. Damn you.
Weird taste-based memory: I remember once in the fifth grade (about 30 years ago), I recall having a fish sandwich that tasted like paint smelled.
I had to run to the restroom to spit it out.
My cat’s catfood tastes very bland compared to how strongly it smells of fish and other such creatures. But it is still recognizeably a paste of meaty things.
My cats food tastes like catbreath.
