sharing this short video which is kind of happy and sad these farmers, who work hard their whole life to collect cocoa beans, have never tasted chocolate in their life, and they are so delighted when they first ate a piece of chocolate... while many of us never think twice before about spending $2 buying a chocolate bar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEN4hcZutO0

Now I know why some like it ... Hidden message inside .. Yahoo news: Human tongue has a sixth taste sense! London, June 11 (IANS) In addition to recognising sweet, sour, salty, savory (umami), and bitter tastes, your tongue has a sixth taste sense - the "sense of carbs" - that allows you to perceive carbohydrates -- the nutrients that break down into sugar and form the main source of energy. The "sense of carbs" also triggers the pleasure centre of the brain and could explain why people often find diet foods unsatisfying, a research shows. "The mouth is a more capable sensory organ than we currently appreciate, able to distinguish carbohydrates from artificial sweeteners when both taste identical," said Nicholas Gant from University of Auckland in New Zealand. Carbohydrates are extremely powerful stimuli that have profound and immediate effects on the brain and the systems it controls, Gant added. For the study, researchers asked participants to squeeze a sensor held between their right index finger and thumb when shown a visual cue. At the same time, the participants' tongues were rinsed with one of three different fluids. The first two were artificially sweetened - to identical tastes - but with only one containing carbohydrate. The third, a control, was neither sweet nor carb-loaded. When the carbohydrate solution was used, the researchers observed a 30 percent increase in activity for the brain areas that control movement and vision. This reaction, they propose, is caused by our mouths reporting that additional energy in the form of carbohydrates is coming. "This 'sixth taste sense' for carbohydrate is likely one of many additional food qualities that are detectable by receptors in the mouth," Gant was quoted as saying in media reports. The study is set to appear in a forthcoming issue of the journal Appetite. link: https://sg.news.yahoo.com/human-tongue-sixth-taste-sense-112609350.html Why need a researchers to tell us this ...

In the olden days, hawkers boiled their soup stock for hours using genuine stuff such as ikan bilis, pork bones and chicken bones. Retail Price Watch Group’s list of ‘Really Worth It’ hawkers confirms that Singaporean gourmands are willing to pay more for good food that’s ‘worth it’ When it comes to hawker food, Singaporeans have no qualms about paying more for quality mee rebus and chicken rice, according to the results of the “Really Worth It!” Hawker List released today (Nov 8) by the Retail Price Watch Group (RPWG). The online list was collated from the results of the RPWG Hawker Hunt, which was conducted on the RPWG Facebook page from Sept 6 to Oct 18. A total of 60 hawkers were nominated and 2,151 votes were cast for hawkers in four categories: Fishball noodles, chicken rice, mee rebus and nasi briyani. Tian Tian Chicken Rice emerged as the overall leader as the most value-for-money stall, followed by Singapore Zam Zam Restaurant’s chicken briyani, mee rebus from Rahim Muslim Food, and Xin Lu Teochew Fishball Noodles. Each stall was also the most popular in their respective food categories. The list also found that taste was the key factor for voters. Of the 60 stalls nominated, the three lowest priced hawkers were not in the upper ranks. With the exception of Xin Lu Teochew Fishball Noodles, the overall most value-for-money hawkers’ prices fell in the middle to high ranges within their own categories. “It is a little surprising that Singaporeans assigned more weight to taste than price when making their evaluation,” noted RPWG Chairman Mr Lee Yi Shyan, who is also the Senior Minister of State for Trade & Industry and National Development. “I hope this round of consumers’ recommendations forms a good guide to those of us who seek value-for-money food in Singapore. By uncovering popular and good value hawker food around the island, we hope to help consumers stretch their dollar while satisfying their taste buds. “Simultaneously, the List helps to single out hawkers who have worked hard to deliver good value to their customers.” The “Really Worth It!” Hawker List can found on the RPWG’s Facebook page (www.facebook.com/RetailPriceWatchGroupSG). Each nominated stall will also be presented with a “Really Worth It!” decal to display on their stall to help the public identify them. The RPWG was set up in February 2011 to keep an eye on excessive price increases of daily necessities and food items, so as to address profiteering, excessive price hikes and anti-competitive practices of businesses in Singapore.

When asked for her occupation, a woman charged with a traffic violation said she was a school teacher. This response caused the judge to rise from the bench. "Madam, I have waited years for a school teacher to appear before this court," he smiled with delight. "Now sit down at that table and write, 'I will not pass through a red light' five hundred times!" This judge must have been frequently punished by his teachers to write lines during schooldays.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweet_crude_oil I always wonder what is light sweet crude oil being traded at Nymex.... After some googling, now I know. Low levels of sulphur gives the oil a sweet taste and nice smell...... And people back then actually taste the oil to determine its quality..... All I know about our petrol is that its STINKS LIKE HELL!! I don't think I will ever want to taste it......

Do you guys find that audio tuning is just a matter of personal taste? I had my car tuned by different reputatable installers. They usually come in the top 3 in I.C.E. Meet. But none to my liking. It seems that tuning vocal and pop is not a problem. But none can tune heavy metal to my taste. So, what do you guys think?
