16/20

I did good on the visual questions at the beginning, then tapered off in the middle, and got the factual stuff at the end pretty spot-on. I watch a lot of Discovery channel stuff, so I knew about taste buds and whatnot. :)

I stopped halfway through because the questions were stupid.

"Pineapple and soy sause is a tasty combination."
No. No it isn't.

No, because who the hell would think it tasts good?
I accidently bought pineapple salsa the other day. I dipped into it and nearly puked.

I chose pineapple and mayo, because there are lots of mayo-based dips that have pineapple in them. That question stumped me.

I chose the mayo one two, I figure the others would taste nasty. Then I remembered I had sushi with pineapple and soyasauce and it was pretty good.

[size=75][i]I once had a glass of milk.

It curdled, and then I couldn't drink it. So I mixed it with some water, and it was alright again.

I am now sick.

The pineapple and soy thing is shit. Hawaiian burgers are pineapple + mayo sauce and they taste awesome.

I got the parmesan sauce thing cause my sister always used to have parmesan on tomato soup and I used to tell her it smelt like puke.

Now I know why.
