Identical Strips, Different DNA: Why I Need My Wife to Tell Me What’s What
Forget the Fancy Vintage—Test Your Family and Friends' DNA Instead! I noticed these have jumped in price since my last order, but here’s the pro-tip: Buy these strips and a bottle of "budget" wine instead of splurging on a premium vintage. Your friends and colleagues will be much more entertained by a Christmas surprise that reveals their genetic origins than they would be by a fancy cork. By counting their taste buds (and watching their reactions), you can spin a great yarn about their evolutionary history. The "Lab Protocol" (To keep things fun): Freshness Matters: These strips weaken over time. Keep them dry and shielded from light if you want that "hit" of bitterness to stay potent. The Control Group: Always offer the control strip first. It builds the suspense and makes the eventual "PTC shock" much more hilarious. Label Your Vials: Whatever you do, don't mix up the vials! The strips look identical. If you do scramble them, you’ll need a "Supertaster" (like my wife) to sort the bitter wheat from the tasteless chaff. Embrace the Chaos: Most importantly—have fun with it! Cheers to a bitter (in a good way) Christmas!

Works
Interesting experiment with the family

Crazy
Product turned up quickly. It’s crazy how some people can taste it and others taste nothing. Fun experiment

Works!
Got these for the PROP taster test for the D'Adamo GenoType diet (in the book "Change Your Genetic Destiny"). It was interesting to debate whether we were tasters or super tasters. These work and there are plenty. Control (tasteless) strips included to make sure you're not imagining the taste.

I guess it works
Thought his was a dud at first because I couldn’t taste anything then I moved it to a different part of my tongue to remove it and nearly threw up. Vile, disgusting, brilliant 10/10

You get 100 test strips!
Wonderful for learning about our taste buds!

L'ho acquistato per delle attività laboratoriali perché l'avevo già utilizzato all'università. Si può utilizzare senza difficoltà anche a casa.

Super fun to do in a science class to find out the differences in taste receptors and associate it with inheritances of those genes. Super easy to use.

The strips are not uniformly made, so the same person could test Taster or Not Taster depending on which strip they happened to receive, making it extremely unreliable, and therefore useless for science experiments.

We used these to run an experiment at a family reunion. These are super easy to use, so everyone participated, and it was a lot of fun charting who could taste and who could not.

Bought them to try out with my food classes. Worked amazingly. So interesting
