Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:03,837 --> 00:00:05,807
CHARLIE: Oh man. Hey guys.
2
00:00:05,872 --> 00:00:07,142
Quick breakdown of
what's going on.
3
00:00:07,207 --> 00:00:08,537
We're in Philly right now.
4
00:00:08,608 --> 00:00:10,908
With a super scientist who's
making us taste and smell
5
00:00:10,977 --> 00:00:14,777
all of these weird things to
get us a sense of our senses.
6
00:00:15,281 --> 00:00:16,451
KIRBY: That was gross.
7
00:00:16,516 --> 00:00:19,816
CHARLIE: Oh man kind of gross,
but what's happening here is
definitely Weird but True.
8
00:00:21,354 --> 00:00:27,694
(theme music plays).
9
00:00:42,275 --> 00:00:43,205
Dude, I don't smell anything!
10
00:00:43,276 --> 00:00:44,206
KIRBY: Charles!
11
00:00:44,277 --> 00:00:45,207
CHARLIE: Alright. Hey guys!
12
00:00:45,278 --> 00:00:46,678
Charlie here, you
know my sister Kirby!
13
00:00:46,746 --> 00:00:47,676
KIRBY: Hey guys!
14
00:00:47,747 --> 00:00:49,217
CHARLIE: Oh my gosh, we're
so glad that you're here.
15
00:00:49,282 --> 00:00:50,682
I think we just
gotta get right into it.
16
00:00:50,750 --> 00:00:51,990
KIRBY: So like
two minutes ago...
17
00:00:52,052 --> 00:00:53,222
CHARLIE: Two minutes!
18
00:00:53,286 --> 00:00:55,316
KIRBY: We were in the kitchen
enjoying our favorite snack.
19
00:00:55,388 --> 00:00:58,118
CHARLIE: Jalapeno garlic knots.
20
00:00:58,691 --> 00:01:01,331
There we were, noshing
on some wicked knots.
21
00:01:01,761 --> 00:01:04,031
When all of the sudden...our
older sister Casey showed up.
22
00:01:04,397 --> 00:01:05,697
CASEY: Hey guys.
What are you guys eating?
23
00:01:05,765 --> 00:01:06,825
CHARLIE: Garlic knots.
24
00:01:06,900 --> 00:01:08,570
CASEY: You guys smell awful.
25
00:01:08,635 --> 00:01:09,595
CHARLIE: What are
you talking about?
26
00:01:09,669 --> 00:01:10,799
KIRBY: We smell great!
27
00:01:10,870 --> 00:01:12,210
CHARLIE: Want a knot?
CASEY: Yeah, no thanks.
28
00:01:12,272 --> 00:01:13,742
KIRBY: You don't like
jalapeno garlic knots?
29
00:01:13,807 --> 00:01:14,867
CASEY: Ew no gross!
30
00:01:14,941 --> 00:01:16,241
CHARLIE: How is
that even possible?
31
00:01:16,309 --> 00:01:17,739
KIRBY: Bizarre.
32
00:01:17,811 --> 00:01:18,981
CHARLIE: We don't understand!
33
00:01:19,045 --> 00:01:21,975
KIRBY: How can Casey not
like something so heavenly?
34
00:01:22,449 --> 00:01:23,879
But we're gonna get
to the bottom of it.
35
00:01:23,950 --> 00:01:26,150
CHARLIE: So today we're
unraveling the world of...
36
00:01:29,155 --> 00:01:31,155
Smell and taste!
37
00:01:31,558 --> 00:01:33,158
Senses!
The best part of life!
38
00:01:33,226 --> 00:01:34,356
KIRBY: You gotta love 'em.
39
00:01:34,427 --> 00:01:35,727
CHARLIE: Using our
senses we can...
40
00:01:35,795 --> 00:01:37,825
See wonderful
birthday decorations!
41
00:01:38,398 --> 00:01:39,598
KIRBY: Happy birthday to you!
42
00:01:39,666 --> 00:01:41,966
CHARLIE: Hear the jolly
voices of our friends
singing happy birthday.
43
00:01:42,569 --> 00:01:44,999
Smell a surprise birthday pie!
44
00:01:46,573 --> 00:01:48,783
Feel a birthday present!
45
00:01:48,842 --> 00:01:51,512
And taste a
delicious birthday cake!
46
00:01:51,978 --> 00:01:54,508
KIRBY: So yesterday was
Charlie's birthday, if you
didn't notice.
47
00:01:54,581 --> 00:01:56,421
CHARLIE: Happy birthday!
48
00:01:56,749 --> 00:01:58,079
KIRBY: Ok, ok.
But let's focus.
49
00:01:58,151 --> 00:01:59,121
Senses.
50
00:01:59,185 --> 00:02:00,945
What is a sense?
51
00:02:01,387 --> 00:02:03,257
CHARLIE: Well we've
got five basic senses.
52
00:02:03,323 --> 00:02:06,963
First we've got
touch, sight, and hearing.
53
00:02:07,026 --> 00:02:10,456
They're all super similar
because they track changes
in our environment.
54
00:02:11,264 --> 00:02:13,404
Like changes in temperature.
55
00:02:13,466 --> 00:02:14,796
Changes in the light.
56
00:02:14,868 --> 00:02:17,068
Or changes in sound.
57
00:02:17,504 --> 00:02:19,544
Taste and smell are
a little different.
58
00:02:19,606 --> 00:02:21,266
Here's what I mean.
59
00:02:22,075 --> 00:02:24,005
First. Taste.
60
00:02:24,077 --> 00:02:26,647
So, our tongue is covered in a
bunch of different taste buds.
61
00:02:27,213 --> 00:02:29,483
And if we just take a
little bit of a closer look.
62
00:02:29,549 --> 00:02:33,519
We can see each taste bud is
made up of a bunch of
different taste cells,
63
00:02:34,454 --> 00:02:38,934
and each of these cells
recognizes one of the five
major tastes we can detect:
64
00:02:39,859 --> 00:02:43,299
you've got your sweet cells,
your salty cells, sour cells,
65
00:02:43,696 --> 00:02:46,766
bitter cells, and umami cells.
66
00:02:47,934 --> 00:02:50,104
Cool science word, Umami.
67
00:02:50,170 --> 00:02:52,340
Umami's the fifth basic taste.
68
00:02:52,405 --> 00:02:54,905
It's a more savory and meaty.
69
00:02:55,375 --> 00:02:58,305
Cool, cool. So each taste bud
can recognize each flavor.
70
00:02:59,012 --> 00:03:00,452
How nuts is that?
71
00:03:00,513 --> 00:03:01,783
KIRBY: Super nuts!
72
00:03:02,715 --> 00:03:04,175
CHARLIE: So that's
how taste works.
73
00:03:04,250 --> 00:03:08,190
Molecules from our food and
drink bind to taste buds,
which trigger certain cells,
74
00:03:08,755 --> 00:03:11,385
that fire taste-specific
signals to our brain.
75
00:03:11,658 --> 00:03:15,758
So we can detect
delicious tastes like
jalapeno garlic knots.
76
00:03:16,296 --> 00:03:18,356
Unless you're Casey of course.
77
00:03:18,731 --> 00:03:19,971
KIRBY: Time for smell.
78
00:03:20,033 --> 00:03:22,103
Smell is kind of like
tasting with our nose.
79
00:03:22,168 --> 00:03:25,208
Instead of deliberately
shoving material into
our nose,
80
00:03:25,271 --> 00:03:29,881
like we do with our mouth,
super light molecules from our
food float through the air
81
00:03:29,943 --> 00:03:31,413
into our nose.
82
00:03:31,477 --> 00:03:34,177
And, inside our nose,
there are a bunch of
teeny tiny proteins.
83
00:03:34,247 --> 00:03:36,917
If we take a little closer
look at those proteins...
84
00:03:37,684 --> 00:03:39,824
We see that they have
receptor areas too!
85
00:03:39,886 --> 00:03:42,716
When those super
light molecules bind
to the proteins,
86
00:03:42,789 --> 00:03:45,529
a signal is sent to the
brain and we sense a smell.
87
00:03:45,592 --> 00:03:49,132
And the really incredible
thing is that these smell
proteins are very specific.
88
00:03:49,529 --> 00:03:51,429
So when we smell,
like birthday cake.
89
00:03:51,497 --> 00:03:54,967
Molecules of whatever
we're smelling actually
go into our noses.
90
00:03:55,535 --> 00:03:56,935
Crazy neat!
91
00:03:57,003 --> 00:04:00,343
But also kind of weird because
it's the same for bad smells.
92
00:04:00,974 --> 00:04:04,114
Molecules of bad
smelling things,
also go into our noses.
93
00:04:05,144 --> 00:04:07,914
CHARLIE: But maybe that's
why Casey doesn't like
jalapeno garlic knots.
94
00:04:08,481 --> 00:04:11,081
Maybe at the time she was
smelling something disgusting.
95
00:04:11,384 --> 00:04:14,424
KIRBY: Yeah, but I wish there
was a way we could figure
this all out scientifically.
96
00:04:14,854 --> 00:04:15,894
(door bell).
97
00:04:15,955 --> 00:04:17,885
CHARLIE: What was that?
BOB: Package!
98
00:04:17,957 --> 00:04:19,227
CHARLIE: Whoa!
BOB: Sign here.
99
00:04:19,292 --> 00:04:21,392
CHARLIE: What
the heck is this?
100
00:04:21,461 --> 00:04:22,801
KIRBY: Check it out
there's two tubes!
101
00:04:22,862 --> 00:04:24,432
CHARLIE: And a letter! Hmm.
102
00:04:24,497 --> 00:04:25,867
Dear Charlie and Kirby.
103
00:04:25,932 --> 00:04:27,602
Happy belated
birthday Charlie!
104
00:04:27,667 --> 00:04:28,797
Oh, that's so nice.
105
00:04:28,868 --> 00:04:29,968
KIRBY: Keep reading!
106
00:04:30,036 --> 00:04:32,466
CHARLIE: This is Dr. Reed
from the Monell Chemical
Senses Center!
107
00:04:32,538 --> 00:04:34,638
Smell and taste
are our specialties!
108
00:04:34,707 --> 00:04:37,237
Enclosed are two saliva vials.
109
00:04:37,310 --> 00:04:39,680
If you'd like, fill
them with your saliva.
110
00:04:39,746 --> 00:04:40,876
KIRBY: Wait our spit?
111
00:04:40,947 --> 00:04:43,417
CHARLIE: And mail them to our
lab and come by for a visit!
112
00:04:43,716 --> 00:04:45,446
Signed, your friend, Dr. Reed.
113
00:04:45,518 --> 00:04:46,618
This is perfect!
114
00:04:46,686 --> 00:04:48,816
They'll know why Casey doesn't
like jalapeno garlic knots.
115
00:04:48,888 --> 00:04:49,958
KIRBY: I don't know Charles.
116
00:04:50,023 --> 00:04:51,123
CHARLIE: Kirby it's
fine just start spitting.
117
00:04:51,190 --> 00:04:52,430
KIRBY: Mmkay.
118
00:04:52,492 --> 00:04:54,532
(spitting).
119
00:04:54,594 --> 00:04:56,204
CHARLIE: Mine's done!
KIRBY: Yup me too.
120
00:04:56,262 --> 00:04:57,702
CHARLIE: Alright,
throw it in the box.
121
00:04:57,764 --> 00:04:59,474
Annnnndd...
122
00:04:59,532 --> 00:05:01,132
Monell Chemical Senses Center.
123
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:02,200
BOB: You got it.
124
00:05:02,268 --> 00:05:04,238
CHARLIE: Alright guys,
I guess we're gonna
head over to Monell!
125
00:05:05,238 --> 00:05:06,168
Cool, cool!
126
00:05:06,239 --> 00:05:07,239
Let's ride.
127
00:05:07,307 --> 00:05:09,277
Heading over to
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
128
00:05:09,342 --> 00:05:11,982
Philadelphia, the
city of brotherly love.
129
00:05:12,378 --> 00:05:14,908
Famous for it's tasty soft
pretzels and cheesesteaks.
130
00:05:17,150 --> 00:05:20,120
The Monell Chemical
Senses Center, the place
in the United States
131
00:05:20,186 --> 00:05:22,086
to study taste and smell.
132
00:05:22,588 --> 00:05:24,958
It's Dr. Reed.
133
00:05:25,325 --> 00:05:26,525
Hey Dr. Reed!
134
00:05:26,592 --> 00:05:27,632
DR. REED: Hi guys!
135
00:05:27,694 --> 00:05:29,134
CHARLIE: Guys, Dr.
Reed, Dr. Reed, guys.
136
00:05:30,196 --> 00:05:34,196
Meet Doctor Danielle
Reed...she's the associate
director performing and
137
00:05:34,267 --> 00:05:38,437
overseeing all kinds of
research on taste and smell
here at the Monell Center.
138
00:05:39,105 --> 00:05:41,435
Her favorite Weird but True
fact is, there's a wildflower
139
00:05:41,507 --> 00:05:43,707
that smells just like chocolate!
140
00:05:43,776 --> 00:05:46,276
Commonly referred to
as the Chocolate Daisy.
141
00:05:47,413 --> 00:05:50,983
So Dr. Reed we sent you a
bunch of our saliva earlier,
have you been checking it out?
142
00:05:51,351 --> 00:05:53,021
DR. REED: Yep, we've
been looking at the DNA.
143
00:05:53,086 --> 00:05:54,516
CHARLIE: Are we
normal tasters?
144
00:05:54,587 --> 00:05:55,987
DR. REED: You'll have
to come and find out.
145
00:05:56,055 --> 00:05:57,485
CHARLIE: Ohhhh man!
KIRBY: Alrighty.
146
00:05:57,557 --> 00:05:58,787
CHARLIE: Let's go!
Let's try it out.
147
00:05:58,858 --> 00:06:00,458
DR. REED: Okay.
148
00:06:00,526 --> 00:06:03,156
CHARLIE: Dr. Reed has
set up three different
experiments for us today.
149
00:06:03,830 --> 00:06:07,130
These will help us learn
the Weird but True ways our
senses of smell and taste
150
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,600
actually work together.
151
00:06:10,103 --> 00:06:12,943
DR. REED: First test we're
gonna learn the difference
between your sense of taste
152
00:06:13,005 --> 00:06:14,635
and your sense of smell.
153
00:06:14,707 --> 00:06:17,907
So we're gonna start with
the dreaded nose clips.
154
00:06:18,945 --> 00:06:22,545
CHARLIE: So, taste and smell
are kind of intertwined, but I
don't really understand it.
155
00:06:22,915 --> 00:06:24,675
DR. REED: There's
two things going on.
156
00:06:24,751 --> 00:06:26,991
One is on the tongue, which
is our sense of taste,
157
00:06:27,053 --> 00:06:29,363
and then there's actually
our sense of smell.
158
00:06:29,422 --> 00:06:31,392
There's a back
door up to the nose.
159
00:06:31,457 --> 00:06:33,987
That's how you appreciate
flavor when you put food in
your mouth.
160
00:06:34,394 --> 00:06:35,404
CHARLIE: Oh, okay.
161
00:06:35,461 --> 00:06:36,561
DR. REED: So are you ready?
162
00:06:36,629 --> 00:06:37,759
CHARLIE: Yeah I'm ready to go.
DR. REED: Okay.
163
00:06:37,830 --> 00:06:40,530
CHARLIE: Dr. Reed will
show us how we need
both taste and smell
164
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,870
to get the full flavor of food.
165
00:06:42,935 --> 00:06:46,365
And to demonstrate this we'll
see if we can figure out the
flavor of our jellybeans.
166
00:06:46,739 --> 00:06:48,369
DR. REED: You're just
gonna put it in your mouth...
167
00:06:48,441 --> 00:06:49,411
CHARLIE: Yeah?
168
00:06:49,475 --> 00:06:51,205
DR. REED: And chew it up.
169
00:06:51,277 --> 00:06:53,677
And as you're chewing
try to guess the flavor.
170
00:06:54,881 --> 00:06:57,321
CHARLIE: That's the plainest
tasting jelly bean I've ever
had in my entire life.
171
00:06:57,383 --> 00:06:58,523
KIRBY: Yeah.
172
00:06:58,584 --> 00:07:00,724
DR. REED: Now, take
your nose clips off.
173
00:07:01,988 --> 00:07:03,658
BOTH: Whoa!
174
00:07:03,723 --> 00:07:04,863
CHARLIE: AHHHHH!
175
00:07:04,924 --> 00:07:05,894
KIRBY: It's coffee.
I got coffee.
176
00:07:05,958 --> 00:07:06,928
CHARLIE: That gross.
177
00:07:06,993 --> 00:07:08,033
KIRBY: What'd you get?
178
00:07:08,094 --> 00:07:10,404
CHARLIE: I got licorice.
I really don't like licorice.
179
00:07:10,463 --> 00:07:13,303
DR. REED: You knew it was
sweet, but you didn't know
what the flavor was until you
180
00:07:13,366 --> 00:07:15,096
took the nose clips off.
181
00:07:15,168 --> 00:07:16,398
CHARLIE: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
182
00:07:16,469 --> 00:07:18,339
DR. REED: And that
allowed that sense of
smell to come into play.
183
00:07:18,404 --> 00:07:21,514
The next test we're going
to show you a little bit
about your sense of taste.
184
00:07:21,841 --> 00:07:25,481
So some people are born able
to taste bitter compounds
and some people can't.
185
00:07:25,745 --> 00:07:29,915
And we took your DNA
in advance so I actually
know whether you guys can
186
00:07:29,982 --> 00:07:32,152
taste this compound or not.
187
00:07:32,585 --> 00:07:34,845
So this is just a
clear, plain liquid.
188
00:07:35,688 --> 00:07:38,588
CHARLIE: Dr. Reed tells
us some people think
this liquid is gross,
189
00:07:38,658 --> 00:07:41,928
but to others it tastes just
like water and I'm really hoping
190
00:07:41,994 --> 00:07:43,864
I won't be able to
taste this stuff.
191
00:07:43,930 --> 00:07:45,100
Cheers man.
KIRBY: Cheers.
192
00:07:45,164 --> 00:07:46,904
CHARLIE: Let's roll...
193
00:07:49,001 --> 00:07:50,241
Ahhh!
194
00:07:50,303 --> 00:07:51,343
KIRBY: What was that?
195
00:07:51,404 --> 00:07:53,174
That was icky! UGH!
196
00:07:53,239 --> 00:07:55,069
CHARLIE: How do
I make it stop?
197
00:07:55,141 --> 00:07:56,711
That's the
grossest thing ever!
198
00:07:56,776 --> 00:07:57,806
KIRBY: That's pretty gross.
199
00:07:57,877 --> 00:08:01,047
DR. REED: So that's a chemical
related to some of the
chemicals that are in broccoli
200
00:08:01,113 --> 00:08:03,583
CHARLIE: If you tested our
saliva, you knew we were
gonna taste that, right?
201
00:08:03,649 --> 00:08:05,079
DR. REED: I did know.
202
00:08:05,151 --> 00:08:07,391
CHARLIE: Dr. Reed,
evil taste scientist.
203
00:08:08,187 --> 00:08:11,217
KIRBY: Let's break down
the difference between
taste and flavor a bit more.
204
00:08:11,991 --> 00:08:15,431
If Charlie were to describe
the taste of a cake he'd
say something like...
205
00:08:15,495 --> 00:08:16,755
CHARLIE: It's pretty sweet.
206
00:08:16,829 --> 00:08:18,869
KIRBY: If Charlie were to
describe the flavor of cake
207
00:08:18,931 --> 00:08:20,371
he'd say something
like this...
208
00:08:20,433 --> 00:08:24,443
CHARLIE: It's got a warm,
lemony smell, but kind of a
touch of nutmeg.
209
00:08:24,937 --> 00:08:26,737
Cool, cool I think we got it.
210
00:08:26,806 --> 00:08:29,836
DR. REED: So now we're
gonna move onto something
called miracle berry.
211
00:08:29,909 --> 00:08:33,049
CHARLIE: Next up, Dr. Reed
will show us how we can trick
our taste buds.
212
00:08:33,713 --> 00:08:38,023
DR. REED: Though these berries
are not sweet themselves, they
have the capacity to change
213
00:08:38,084 --> 00:08:41,524
things into sweet in
the presence of sour.
214
00:08:42,121 --> 00:08:45,391
So first thing we're
gonna do is I'm gonna
have you taste a lemon.
215
00:08:46,259 --> 00:08:49,099
And remember what that
sour lemon taste is like.
216
00:08:49,428 --> 00:08:51,158
CHARLIE: Not too hot.
217
00:08:51,564 --> 00:08:54,034
DR. REED: Now we're gonna
take a miracle berry, and
we're gonna run the pulp
218
00:08:54,100 --> 00:08:56,640
all around our tongue.
219
00:08:57,570 --> 00:08:59,370
CHARLIE: Oh it's bitter.
220
00:08:59,438 --> 00:09:00,838
KIRBY: That's not sweet.
221
00:09:00,907 --> 00:09:02,507
DR. REED: We're going
to take our lemon again.
222
00:09:04,110 --> 00:09:05,480
KIRBY: Mmmmmmmh.
DR. REED: You get it?
223
00:09:05,545 --> 00:09:06,945
CHARLIE: That's
not bad actually.
224
00:09:07,013 --> 00:09:07,953
KIRBY: Tastes like candy.
225
00:09:08,014 --> 00:09:09,254
DR. REED: It tastes like candy?
KIRBY: Yeah.
226
00:09:09,315 --> 00:09:11,415
DR. REED: You kind of get
that sweet lemonade feel.
227
00:09:11,484 --> 00:09:13,854
CHARLIE: That tastes kind
of like a lemon pound cake.
228
00:09:14,620 --> 00:09:16,090
Dr. Reed wasn't lying.
229
00:09:16,155 --> 00:09:19,985
This berry makes
lemons taste like lemonade,
cheese taste like frosting,
230
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:22,960
and vinegar taste
like fruit juice.
231
00:09:23,362 --> 00:09:25,832
But miracle berries aren't the
only thing that can do this.
232
00:09:26,566 --> 00:09:28,896
Sprinkle a little salt on
grapefruit and it tastes
sweeter.
233
00:09:29,902 --> 00:09:32,472
Eating an artichoke makes
water taste sweeter too.
234
00:09:32,772 --> 00:09:34,612
But the mother of
all flavor hacks.
235
00:09:34,674 --> 00:09:36,514
Toothpaste and OJ.
236
00:09:36,576 --> 00:09:41,776
Toothpaste contains the
chemical sodium lauryl
sulfate, aka SLS.
237
00:09:42,415 --> 00:09:44,875
SLS makes
toothpaste super foamy.
238
00:09:45,551 --> 00:09:48,591
In our mouths we naturally
have a certain amount of
phospholipids,
239
00:09:49,055 --> 00:09:51,255
which block our
bitter receptors.
240
00:09:51,324 --> 00:09:53,864
SLS gets rid of
those phospholipids.
241
00:09:53,926 --> 00:09:58,396
This makes our taste buds much
more sensitive than usual to
bitter molecules in things
242
00:09:58,464 --> 00:10:00,134
like orange juice.
243
00:10:00,199 --> 00:10:01,729
Making it taste all gross!
244
00:10:01,801 --> 00:10:02,871
So now you know.
245
00:10:02,935 --> 00:10:04,995
It's just a little
sodium lauryl sulfate.
246
00:10:05,471 --> 00:10:08,141
DR. REED: If you guys think
this is neat, you should meet
with a flavor chemist.
247
00:10:08,207 --> 00:10:11,677
They study all of the
different molecules that go
into different kinds of foods.
248
00:10:12,345 --> 00:10:14,145
CHARLIE: A flavor chemist.
That's an actual job?
249
00:10:14,213 --> 00:10:15,283
DR. REED: It's an actual job.
250
00:10:15,348 --> 00:10:17,248
CHARLIE: All right, guys.
We gotta head back to HQ
251
00:10:17,316 --> 00:10:19,686
'cause we got a new
topic on our hands,
flavor chemists.
252
00:10:19,752 --> 00:10:20,992
So we'll be back in a bit.
253
00:10:21,053 --> 00:10:24,193
Thanks for the jelly beans
and thanks for an excuse not
to eat broccoli anymore.
254
00:10:24,256 --> 00:10:25,756
See you!
255
00:10:25,825 --> 00:10:27,855
DR. REED: That's
not what I said.
256
00:10:28,127 --> 00:10:31,227
KIRBY: Weird but True, scents
smell better through your
right nostril than they do
257
00:10:31,297 --> 00:10:33,127
through your left!
258
00:10:36,702 --> 00:10:38,142
KIRBY: Charles you
gotta check this out.
259
00:10:38,204 --> 00:10:39,344
CHARLIE: Hey guys!
Welcome back.
260
00:10:39,405 --> 00:10:40,335
KIRBY: Oh hey.
261
00:10:40,406 --> 00:10:41,536
CHARLIE: We're just
enjoying a nice little snack.
262
00:10:41,607 --> 00:10:43,477
After our long trip
home from Philadelphia.
263
00:10:43,776 --> 00:10:45,006
KIRBY: This is amazing!
264
00:10:45,077 --> 00:10:46,407
CHARLIE: Our friend Dr. Reed,
who works there,
265
00:10:46,479 --> 00:10:48,649
was just telling us
about flavor chemists.
266
00:10:48,714 --> 00:10:49,784
KIRBY: Flavorists.
267
00:10:49,849 --> 00:10:51,079
CHARLIE: Kirby's been
doing some research.
268
00:10:51,150 --> 00:10:53,050
And apparently this
job is pretty awesome.
269
00:10:53,119 --> 00:10:54,749
KIRBY: Yeah check it
out, it's all here.
270
00:10:55,087 --> 00:10:57,187
CHARLIE: Hmm ok
so apparently...
271
00:10:57,256 --> 00:11:00,956
Dating back to 1927
researchers thought that
humans could only detect
272
00:11:01,027 --> 00:11:04,797
10,000 different smells, but by
2016 they determined we could
273
00:11:04,864 --> 00:11:07,834
detect over 1 trillion
different smells!
274
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:09,440
1 trillion!
275
00:11:09,502 --> 00:11:11,242
That a lot of smells.
276
00:11:11,604 --> 00:11:14,644
And detecting all of those
different smells is what
helps flavor chemists,
277
00:11:14,707 --> 00:11:17,737
aka flavorists, design
the flavors of our food.
278
00:11:18,310 --> 00:11:22,150
These super star chemists make
the mind boggling flavor
creations we all love.
279
00:11:22,415 --> 00:11:23,475
KIRBY: Mmmm.
280
00:11:23,549 --> 00:11:24,879
CHARLIE: And it seems like
it'd be pretty easy, right?
281
00:11:24,950 --> 00:11:26,150
Not so much.
282
00:11:26,218 --> 00:11:29,058
In the United States,
an aspiring flavor
chemist starts out
283
00:11:29,121 --> 00:11:31,491
as an apprentice
at a flavor house.
284
00:11:31,557 --> 00:11:34,927
For seven years before
they finally have the
opportunity to become a
285
00:11:34,994 --> 00:11:38,464
certified voting member of the
Society of Flavor Chemists.
286
00:11:39,732 --> 00:11:41,172
And that's when you
know you're legit.
287
00:11:41,233 --> 00:11:42,403
When you're in the society.
288
00:11:42,468 --> 00:11:45,568
KIRBY: And the work they're
doing's pretty tricky 'cause
flavors are difficult to make.
289
00:11:45,638 --> 00:11:46,908
CHARLIE: So how do they do it?
290
00:11:46,972 --> 00:11:48,172
KIRBY: They've
got a super power.
291
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,140
CHARLIE: A very real,
actual, scientific superpower.
292
00:11:51,677 --> 00:11:53,877
You know those tongue taste
charts that look like this?
293
00:11:54,447 --> 00:11:56,977
Well Weird but True , the
taste chart is a myth!
294
00:11:57,349 --> 00:12:00,519
You don't taste salty things
on the bottom on your tongue
and sour things on the side.
295
00:12:01,020 --> 00:12:03,120
KIRBY: You taste
everything everywhere.
296
00:12:03,189 --> 00:12:06,459
CHARLIE: Because every taste
bud has cells that recognise
every basic taste.
297
00:12:07,026 --> 00:12:09,496
KIRBY: And most
flavorists are super tasters.
298
00:12:09,562 --> 00:12:10,932
CHARLIE: It's a real thing.
299
00:12:10,996 --> 00:12:14,296
Alright so the amount of
tastebuds in our mouths varies
from person to person,
300
00:12:14,734 --> 00:12:17,774
but supertasters have more
taste buds than average.
301
00:12:17,837 --> 00:12:18,897
KIRBY: Like a lot more.
302
00:12:18,971 --> 00:12:21,241
CHARLIE: So everything
they taste is extreme.
303
00:12:21,307 --> 00:12:26,407
For example, if a super taster
and a normal taster both drank
the same sour lemonade,
304
00:12:26,979 --> 00:12:30,419
to the normal taster, it'd
be just like a little sour.
305
00:12:30,950 --> 00:12:32,550
KIRBY: That's just
like a little sour.
306
00:12:32,618 --> 00:12:35,148
CHARLIE: But to the
super taster it'd
be incredibly sour.
307
00:12:35,521 --> 00:12:37,061
WHOOOOOOOO!!!
308
00:12:37,123 --> 00:12:39,663
Everything tastes
extreme to a super taster!
309
00:12:40,226 --> 00:12:43,296
Flavors aren't just flavors,
they're flavor explosions!
310
00:12:44,029 --> 00:12:46,399
The cool thing is, this
is a very normal thing,
311
00:12:46,966 --> 00:12:49,266
and super tasters walk
among us every day.
312
00:12:49,335 --> 00:12:50,595
Whoa!
313
00:12:50,669 --> 00:12:52,039
KIRBY: Are you a picky eater?
314
00:12:52,104 --> 00:12:54,174
Do you turn up your nose at
the mere sight of broccoli?
315
00:12:54,807 --> 00:12:56,737
Do certain cheeses
make you queasy?
316
00:12:56,809 --> 00:12:59,849
If yes, then you, my
friend, may be a supertaster!!
317
00:13:00,846 --> 00:13:02,406
CHARLIE: Yeah maybe you don't
like those things because you
318
00:13:02,481 --> 00:13:04,651
actually have an
awesome superpower.
319
00:13:04,717 --> 00:13:07,287
KIRBY: And lucky for you,
there's a way to find out
if you do!
320
00:13:07,353 --> 00:13:08,993
A supertaster test!
321
00:13:09,054 --> 00:13:10,664
CHARLIE: A test that
you guys can do at home.
322
00:13:10,723 --> 00:13:12,763
Let's give it a shot.
Here's what you need.
323
00:13:12,825 --> 00:13:13,755
Blue food dye!
324
00:13:13,826 --> 00:13:14,786
Cotton swab!
325
00:13:14,860 --> 00:13:15,830
Tweezers!
326
00:13:15,895 --> 00:13:16,955
Hole punch reinforcement!
327
00:13:17,029 --> 00:13:18,159
A magnifying glass!
328
00:13:18,230 --> 00:13:20,830
KIRBY: First, using the
cotton swab, coat the
front third of your tongue
329
00:13:20,900 --> 00:13:22,540
with blue food coloring.
330
00:13:22,601 --> 00:13:26,341
So the blue dye dyes the
tongue but not these dots
called the papillae.
331
00:13:26,872 --> 00:13:29,882
And each papillae has three
to five taste buds in them.
332
00:13:30,609 --> 00:13:33,749
Next place a hole punch
reinforcement on your tongue.
333
00:13:33,813 --> 00:13:38,253
Pro tip: Stick two
together so you don't have
to taste that sticky glue.
334
00:13:39,385 --> 00:13:42,185
Then, ask a buddy to check
your tongue out and count
335
00:13:42,254 --> 00:13:45,094
the papillae inside the
hole punch reinforcement.
336
00:13:45,524 --> 00:13:48,864
So if you have less than 15
papillae, you're a non-taster.
337
00:13:49,428 --> 00:13:52,398
If you have between 15 and
35, you're a normal taster.
338
00:13:53,165 --> 00:13:56,165
And if you have more than
35, you're a supertaster!
339
00:13:56,869 --> 00:13:58,239
Let's see what we got!
340
00:13:58,304 --> 00:13:59,644
CHARLIE: Alright guys Kirby
and I counted the number of
341
00:13:59,705 --> 00:14:02,135
papillae and now we
have the results!
342
00:14:02,208 --> 00:14:06,648
Kirby, the number of
papillae on your tongue was...
343
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:09,080
20!
344
00:14:09,148 --> 00:14:10,278
KIRBY: Nice!
345
00:14:10,349 --> 00:14:12,849
CHARLIE: You are
a...normal taster!
346
00:14:12,918 --> 00:14:14,048
Aww.
347
00:14:14,119 --> 00:14:15,889
KIRBY: That's ok,
that's ok, that's fine.
348
00:14:15,955 --> 00:14:17,315
Charles, your
papillae count was...
349
00:14:17,389 --> 00:14:18,689
CHARLIE: Come on, come
on, come on !
350
00:14:18,757 --> 00:14:20,057
KIRBY: 17!
351
00:14:20,125 --> 00:14:23,255
CHARLIE: Nooo!! Ugh!
I wanted to be a supertaster!
352
00:14:23,562 --> 00:14:24,532
KIRBY: That's ok.
353
00:14:24,597 --> 00:14:25,927
CHARLIE: Alright, back to HQ.
354
00:14:25,998 --> 00:14:28,828
Ah that's alright Kirb. There
are other super things about us.
355
00:14:28,901 --> 00:14:29,841
KIRBY: Very true.
356
00:14:29,902 --> 00:14:30,842
(doorbell).
357
00:14:30,903 --> 00:14:32,173
CHARLIE: Another
birthday package?
358
00:14:32,238 --> 00:14:34,168
BOB: Special delivery.
CHARLIE: Whoa!
359
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,910
This one's from
FONA International.
360
00:14:36,976 --> 00:14:38,436
Dear Charlie and Kirby.
361
00:14:38,510 --> 00:14:41,380
We heard that you were
unraveling the world of
taste and smell today.
362
00:14:41,780 --> 00:14:42,880
KIRBY: How does
everyone know this?
363
00:14:42,948 --> 00:14:45,118
CHARLIE: We were wondering
if you'd like to visit our
flavor house,
364
00:14:45,184 --> 00:14:47,924
meet with our taste
experts, and make some
flavors yourself.
365
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:49,490
Hope to see you soon!
366
00:14:49,555 --> 00:14:50,915
KIRBY: Sounds
pretty hard to pass up.
367
00:14:50,990 --> 00:14:52,120
CHARLIE: We're
definitely going right Kirb?
368
00:14:52,191 --> 00:14:53,161
KIRBY: Oh we're going.
369
00:14:53,225 --> 00:14:54,955
CHARLIE: Awesome
we'll see you guys there.
370
00:14:55,027 --> 00:14:57,627
KIRBY: Weird but True,
girls have more taste
buds than boys,
371
00:14:57,696 --> 00:14:59,726
because girls
have more papillae!
372
00:15:04,370 --> 00:15:05,770
CHARLIE: Oh hey
guys, welcome back!
373
00:15:05,838 --> 00:15:08,708
Today we're talking about
sense of smell and taste.
374
00:15:09,008 --> 00:15:12,138
And earlier we got a
letter from this place,
FONA International.
375
00:15:12,211 --> 00:15:15,251
It's a flavor house
just around the corner
from us in Chicago.
376
00:15:16,081 --> 00:15:17,051
KIRBY: Let's go check it out.
377
00:15:17,116 --> 00:15:18,476
CHARLIE: Alright,
let's head that way.
378
00:15:18,550 --> 00:15:22,660
The experts here work with
over 4800 raw materials
to create delicious flavor
379
00:15:22,721 --> 00:15:26,491
combinations that can
be found in all sorts of
different foods and drinks.
380
00:15:27,059 --> 00:15:30,699
It's the perfect place for
us to put our smell and
taste skills to the test.
381
00:15:31,263 --> 00:15:32,333
LAUREN: Oh hey, Charlie, Kirby.
382
00:15:32,398 --> 00:15:33,328
KIRBY: Hello.
CHARLIE: Hi.
383
00:15:33,399 --> 00:15:34,329
LAUREN: Hey.
384
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:35,830
CHARLIE: How's it going?
LAUREN: Good how are you guys?
385
00:15:35,901 --> 00:15:37,071
CHARLIE: Good, did you
send us that package?
386
00:15:37,136 --> 00:15:38,566
LAUREN: I did.
You guys got it?
387
00:15:38,637 --> 00:15:39,567
CHARLIE: Yeah, for sure!
388
00:15:39,638 --> 00:15:40,738
LAUREN: Awesome!
389
00:15:40,806 --> 00:15:42,006
CHARLIE: This is
Lauren Morris.
390
00:15:42,074 --> 00:15:44,584
She's a flavor chemist, which
means she creates flavors
391
00:15:44,643 --> 00:15:46,553
that end up in some
of our favorite foods.
392
00:15:47,012 --> 00:15:49,322
Like chewing gum
and potato chips.
393
00:15:49,748 --> 00:15:53,788
Her favorite Weird but True
fact is, you're more sensitive
to smells when you're hungry!
394
00:15:56,255 --> 00:15:58,615
Before we get started, she has
us put on some safety gear.
395
00:16:01,794 --> 00:16:03,464
LAUREN: Ready to be a
flavorist for a day?
396
00:16:03,529 --> 00:16:04,529
KIRBY: Oh yeah.
CHARLIE: Let's do it.
397
00:16:04,596 --> 00:16:05,526
LAUREN: Awesome.
398
00:16:05,597 --> 00:16:06,567
CHARLIE: Where
are we starting?
399
00:16:06,632 --> 00:16:08,332
LAUREN: We're going to
make a coconut flavor!
400
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:09,540
CHARLIE: Coconut!
401
00:16:09,601 --> 00:16:11,571
LAUREN: So what we're gonna
do here is we're gonna add
two raw materials.
402
00:16:11,637 --> 00:16:12,837
CHARLIE: How many drops?
403
00:16:12,905 --> 00:16:14,005
How many are we adding here?
404
00:16:14,073 --> 00:16:15,573
LAUREN: So you're
gonna add .1 gram.
405
00:16:15,641 --> 00:16:19,111
CHARLIE: Lauren shows us
how mixing chemical materials
with long fancy names,
406
00:16:19,178 --> 00:16:22,608
like acetylacetone and gamma
nonalactone, can make flavors
407
00:16:22,681 --> 00:16:25,121
like the coconut flavor
drink we're making.
408
00:16:25,184 --> 00:16:26,924
KIRBY: We're at uh .025.
409
00:16:26,986 --> 00:16:28,246
LAUREN: Aaaand you're good.
410
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,260
Just a little bit goes a
long way for these flavors.
411
00:16:32,324 --> 00:16:33,434
Beautiful.
412
00:16:33,492 --> 00:16:34,562
CHARLIE: Can we make it fancy?
413
00:16:34,626 --> 00:16:35,856
Can we make it any colors? Or?
414
00:16:35,928 --> 00:16:37,128
LAUREN: Absolutely.
415
00:16:37,196 --> 00:16:40,326
It's a great way to look at
the flavor and see the
different colors and how it
416
00:16:40,399 --> 00:16:42,569
mixes and if it's in solution.
417
00:16:42,935 --> 00:16:43,965
KIRBY: That's it?
LAUREN: That's it.
418
00:16:44,036 --> 00:16:46,436
And we'll just give
it a gentle spin.
419
00:16:46,805 --> 00:16:47,935
KIRBY: That's awesome.
420
00:16:48,007 --> 00:16:50,607
There's a little
tornado inside!
421
00:16:51,210 --> 00:16:53,010
LAUREN: Alright the flavor
is mixed, it looks great.
422
00:16:53,078 --> 00:16:54,478
CHARLIE: What
happened to our pink color?
423
00:16:54,546 --> 00:16:55,846
LAUREN: Well it
gets dissolved.
424
00:16:55,914 --> 00:16:58,854
Let's see how it tastes
and if you can pick out
the nuances of coconut.
425
00:16:58,917 --> 00:17:00,947
KIRBY: Alrighty team
let's give it a go.
426
00:17:01,020 --> 00:17:01,990
CHARLIE: Cheers.
LAUREN: Cheers.
427
00:17:02,054 --> 00:17:03,294
CHARLIE: Cheers.
428
00:17:05,257 --> 00:17:06,187
LAUREN: Nice job!
429
00:17:06,258 --> 00:17:07,428
KIRBY: It is coconutty.
CHARLIE: Yeah!
430
00:17:07,493 --> 00:17:09,903
KIRBY: It's totally coconutty!
LAUREN: Creamy, coconut.
431
00:17:10,896 --> 00:17:13,496
CHARLIE: So what do
these flavors taste like
in the actual food?
432
00:17:13,565 --> 00:17:16,895
LAUREN: Paul, our application
scientist, is in the lab
waiting for you guys and he
433
00:17:16,969 --> 00:17:20,969
can show you how to add the
flavors to the food products
and then you guys can taste
434
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:22,510
them and see how
different they are.
435
00:17:22,574 --> 00:17:23,514
CHARLIE: And we
can get some things?
436
00:17:23,575 --> 00:17:24,505
LAUREN: Absolutely.
437
00:17:24,576 --> 00:17:25,576
CHARLIE: Alright
we're heading that way.
438
00:17:25,644 --> 00:17:26,584
LAUREN: You guys did awesome.
439
00:17:26,645 --> 00:17:27,605
KIRBY: Thank you.
LAUREN: Thanks so much.
440
00:17:27,679 --> 00:17:29,379
CHARLIE: Alright thanks
so much Lauren! See ya!
441
00:17:29,448 --> 00:17:31,248
We're off to
meet Paul Hoffman.
442
00:17:31,316 --> 00:17:34,516
As an application scientist he
tracks ratios of raw materials
443
00:17:34,586 --> 00:17:36,756
that go into different flavors.
444
00:17:36,822 --> 00:17:41,832
He also experiments with
different techniques and tools
like sprayers and mixers to
445
00:17:41,894 --> 00:17:44,604
add flavors that make
our foods taste great.
446
00:17:44,997 --> 00:17:47,567
His favorite Weird but True
fact is, the fattier the food,
447
00:17:47,633 --> 00:17:50,003
the longer it holds the
flavor in your mouth!
448
00:17:51,036 --> 00:17:53,066
Hey are you Paul?
PAUL: I am.
449
00:17:53,138 --> 00:17:54,068
CHARLIE: Lauren sent us over.
450
00:17:54,139 --> 00:17:56,409
She said you're
a food application
scientist, is that right?
451
00:17:56,475 --> 00:17:57,475
PAUL: I am.
452
00:17:57,543 --> 00:17:59,183
So you guys made coconut
flavor, but I made a flavor
453
00:17:59,244 --> 00:18:00,914
that I want you
guys to try out.
454
00:18:00,979 --> 00:18:02,649
So we've got our chips.
455
00:18:03,515 --> 00:18:04,815
KIRBY: Going in
the chip machine.
456
00:18:04,883 --> 00:18:06,853
PAUL: And here's our flavor.
457
00:18:08,921 --> 00:18:11,721
CHARLIE: So it's kind of
like you're misting a flavor
onto the potato chips.
458
00:18:12,091 --> 00:18:14,291
PAUL: Yup exactly.
459
00:18:15,060 --> 00:18:17,130
Alright, ready to go.
460
00:18:18,097 --> 00:18:20,467
KIRBY: Ok mystery flavor.
Let's do it.
461
00:18:20,766 --> 00:18:21,896
PAUL: Any ideas?
462
00:18:21,967 --> 00:18:23,937
KIRBY: I'm smelling
caramel or something.
463
00:18:24,002 --> 00:18:24,942
PAUL: Alright.
464
00:18:25,003 --> 00:18:26,543
CHARLIE: I smell like
brownies and nail polish.
465
00:18:26,605 --> 00:18:28,465
It's like a weird combo.
466
00:18:28,540 --> 00:18:29,540
Chip for you.
467
00:18:29,608 --> 00:18:31,438
KIRBY: Thank you, Paul.
PAUL: Thank you.
468
00:18:31,710 --> 00:18:33,110
CHARLIE: Chip.
KIRBY: Thank you.
469
00:18:33,178 --> 00:18:35,008
CHARLIE: Cheers the chip.
PAUL: Cheers.
470
00:18:38,851 --> 00:18:40,651
KIRBY: I think I have an idea.
PAUL: Alright.
471
00:18:40,719 --> 00:18:42,689
KIRBY: It smells caramelly.
PAUL: OK.
472
00:18:42,754 --> 00:18:45,694
KIRBY: But I think
it's s'more flavored.
473
00:18:46,492 --> 00:18:48,092
PAUL: You guys got it!
474
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:49,860
KIRBY: No I...
CHARLIE: I had no idea.
475
00:18:49,928 --> 00:18:51,398
PAUL: Yeah.
KIRBY: Its 100% S'more.
476
00:18:51,463 --> 00:18:53,403
CHARLIE: I've very impressed
with Kirby right now.
477
00:18:53,465 --> 00:18:54,565
That was so cool.
478
00:18:54,633 --> 00:18:56,203
KIRBY: I think I win the
flavor game today.
479
00:18:56,268 --> 00:18:57,568
CHARLIE: I'll give it
to you with that one.
480
00:18:57,636 --> 00:19:00,766
It's like marshmallowy, got
chocolate, a little, like a
cinnamon graham cracker thing.
481
00:19:00,839 --> 00:19:02,039
PAUL: Yep.
482
00:19:02,107 --> 00:19:04,977
CHARLIE: Delicious.
S'more flavored potato chip.
483
00:19:05,377 --> 00:19:06,947
Awesome.
484
00:19:07,446 --> 00:19:10,676
After proving that Paul
can make potato chips
taste like well...
485
00:19:10,749 --> 00:19:15,489
just about anything he's
got another special taste
test in store for us.
486
00:19:15,921 --> 00:19:17,061
PAUL: Charlie I heard it's
your birthday this week.
487
00:19:17,122 --> 00:19:18,362
CHARLIE: Hey it totally is!
488
00:19:18,423 --> 00:19:20,133
PAUL: Alright let's flavor
some frosting for your cake!
489
00:19:20,192 --> 00:19:21,792
KIRBY: Nice.
CHARLIE: Perfect let's do it!
490
00:19:21,860 --> 00:19:24,430
PAUL: So we've got our
frosting, my secret flavor.
491
00:19:25,197 --> 00:19:26,967
CHARLIE: Oooo it's orange.
492
00:19:27,032 --> 00:19:29,002
KIRBY: Orange.
Hints or a trick?
493
00:19:29,067 --> 00:19:30,667
CHARLIE: I'm guessing
orange soda what do you think?
494
00:19:30,736 --> 00:19:32,336
KIRBY: It's kind of
brown looking. Rootbeer?
495
00:19:32,404 --> 00:19:33,874
CHARLIE: Rootbeer?
496
00:19:33,939 --> 00:19:35,269
PAUL: Alright can you can
you keep spinning this?
497
00:19:35,340 --> 00:19:36,410
KIRBY: Yup.
CHARLIE: Yeah. We got it.
498
00:19:36,475 --> 00:19:37,535
PAUL: I'll go grab your cake.
499
00:19:37,609 --> 00:19:39,139
KIRBY: Awesome.
What do you think?
500
00:19:39,211 --> 00:19:40,181
Give me guesses.
501
00:19:40,245 --> 00:19:42,445
CHARLIE: Whoa!
That smells weird as can be!
502
00:19:42,514 --> 00:19:43,954
KIRBY: For sure.
503
00:19:44,516 --> 00:19:45,646
Let's give it a taste.
504
00:19:45,717 --> 00:19:47,087
CHARLIE: Oh gosh.
PAUL: Let's try it.
505
00:19:47,152 --> 00:19:48,192
CHARLIE: 1...
KIRBY: Cheers everyone.
506
00:19:48,253 --> 00:19:50,493
CHARLIE: 2...3...
507
00:19:54,193 --> 00:19:55,693
KIRBY: What on earth is it?
508
00:19:55,761 --> 00:19:57,101
PAUL: Any ideas?
509
00:19:57,162 --> 00:19:59,972
CHARLIE: Oh!
KIRBY: I don't even know!
510
00:20:00,365 --> 00:20:02,425
PAUL: Well that's
a hotdog frosting.
511
00:20:02,501 --> 00:20:04,101
CHARLIE: OOOO.
KIRBY: Ugh!
512
00:20:04,169 --> 00:20:05,269
PAUL: Just for your birthday!
513
00:20:05,337 --> 00:20:06,807
KIRBY: Gross!
CHARLIE: That's gross!
514
00:20:06,872 --> 00:20:10,642
So I guess that's why you and
Lauren have jobs, so you don't
make stuff nasty like this.
515
00:20:10,909 --> 00:20:11,839
PAUL: Exactly.
516
00:20:11,910 --> 00:20:13,350
CHARLIE: Thanks so much for
helping us out today Paul!
517
00:20:13,412 --> 00:20:15,752
This has been awesome
and entirely disgusting,
518
00:20:15,814 --> 00:20:18,224
but you're clearly
really good at your job.
519
00:20:18,283 --> 00:20:19,823
PAUL: Thanks guys,
come back any time.
520
00:20:19,885 --> 00:20:21,315
CHARLIE: Alright guys we're
gonna head back to HQ,
521
00:20:21,386 --> 00:20:22,786
but we'll see you
in a few minutes.
522
00:20:22,854 --> 00:20:26,964
Time to figure out once and
for all why Casey doesn't like
jalapeno garlic knots!
523
00:20:27,492 --> 00:20:28,492
It makes no sense.
524
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:29,760
We'll see you in a bit.
525
00:20:29,828 --> 00:20:34,298
KIRBY: Weird but True, your
body can detect tastes in
just.0015 seconds.
526
00:20:35,100 --> 00:20:37,100
That's as fast as a
blink of an eye!
527
00:20:38,070 --> 00:20:40,640
CHARLIE: Hey guys.
We just got back from
FONA International.
528
00:20:40,706 --> 00:20:42,066
KIRBY: So many flavors!
529
00:20:42,140 --> 00:20:43,840
CHARLIE: S'more
flavored potato chip.
530
00:20:43,909 --> 00:20:46,179
We learned a lot about taste
and the fact that flavors can
531
00:20:46,245 --> 00:20:48,475
taste differently to
different people.
532
00:20:48,547 --> 00:20:51,217
KIRBY: Maybe that's why
Casey doesn't like the
jalapeno garlic knots.
533
00:20:51,717 --> 00:20:54,517
CHARLIE: Oh yeah, I feel
like we're so close to
figuring this out!
534
00:20:54,586 --> 00:20:55,946
What else did we learn today?
535
00:20:56,021 --> 00:20:57,521
There were so many
Weird but True things.
536
00:20:57,589 --> 00:21:01,229
When you smell something,
molecules of what you're
smelling enter your nose.
537
00:21:01,526 --> 00:21:03,296
This can be good or bad.
538
00:21:04,129 --> 00:21:06,529
KIRBY: There's a berry
that can make sour
foods taste sweet.
539
00:21:07,199 --> 00:21:10,869
CHARLIE: To a super taster,
even bland foods can be a
flavor explosion.
540
00:21:10,936 --> 00:21:12,266
Whoooooooo!
541
00:21:12,337 --> 00:21:14,107
Alright guys,
the Casey dilemma.
542
00:21:14,172 --> 00:21:16,412
Why does Casey not
like garlic knots?
543
00:21:16,775 --> 00:21:18,475
KIRBY: I don't know
cause, they're amazing.
544
00:21:18,543 --> 00:21:19,813
CASEY: Hey guys
how's it going?
545
00:21:19,878 --> 00:21:23,018
CHARLIE: We're just trying to
figure out why you don't like
jalapeno garlic knots.
546
00:21:23,081 --> 00:21:24,481
CASEY: What are
you talking about?
547
00:21:24,549 --> 00:21:26,219
I love jalapeno garlic knots.
548
00:21:26,285 --> 00:21:27,615
CHARLIE: But you didn't
have any this morning?
549
00:21:27,686 --> 00:21:28,746
CASEY: I had just
brushed my teeth.
550
00:21:28,820 --> 00:21:30,090
CHARLIE: Wait what?
551
00:21:30,155 --> 00:21:32,615
CASEY: The sodium lauryl
sulfate in my toothpaste
lowered the surface tension of
552
00:21:32,691 --> 00:21:35,731
the saliva in my mouth,
basically destroying any
phospholipids and bitter
553
00:21:35,794 --> 00:21:37,934
receptor inhibitors
that were in there.
554
00:21:37,996 --> 00:21:39,196
CHARLIE: That's
flavor hacking.
555
00:21:39,264 --> 00:21:40,574
Like with the miracle berry.
556
00:21:40,632 --> 00:21:43,242
CASEY: You bet it's flavor
hacking, but you know, that
was this morning.
557
00:21:43,302 --> 00:21:45,402
So I'll have a
jalapeno garlic knot now.
558
00:21:45,470 --> 00:21:47,440
CHARLIE: Alright
we figured it out!
559
00:21:47,506 --> 00:21:49,136
KIRBY: Another mystery solved!
560
00:21:49,207 --> 00:21:50,437
CHARLIE: Celebrate
with a garlic knot?
561
00:21:50,509 --> 00:21:51,439
KIRBY: Oh yeah.
562
00:21:51,510 --> 00:21:53,010
CHARLIE: Alright thanks
guys so much for stopping by!
563
00:21:53,078 --> 00:21:55,748
Come by again when we discover
more things that are weird...
564
00:21:55,814 --> 00:21:56,754
KIRBY: But true!
565
00:21:56,815 --> 00:21:58,015
CHARLIE: We'll see you later!
566
00:21:58,083 --> 00:21:59,053
CHARLIE: Mmm. Yeah.
KIRBY: Cheers.
Garlic knots, Mmm.
567
00:21:59,117 --> 00:22:00,247
