Chocolate subject one subject two subject three couldn’t couldn’t couldn’t taste it at taste it at taste it at first but then first but then first but then could taste could taste could taste it. it. it. Conclusion What I did in this experiment is that I picked some friends and made them see if they can taste or if they can't. What I learned from this project is that some foods you can taste and some foods you can't while holding your nose. I also learned that they make flavor by the neurons in the brain. In conclusion we all have learned that some foods you can taste while holding your nose and sometimes you can't. I had learn so much about my project . Can you
