yes, the mouth and the nose is connected, if the nose doesnt like the smell the mouth makes it taste funny

and sometimes if the nose really doesnt like it, it sends actions to your brain telling you to reject it, dont even put it in your mouth.....

its a very strange reaction but it is very true.
