Get four samples of tastes - sweet, bitter, salt, and sour (make sure they are fairly wet samples because you will be drying your tongue off!). Stick out your tongue and dry it off with a paper towel. Then touch a drop of each taste to different spots on your tongue. The traditional spots are: * Bitter - back of the tongue * Sweet - front of tongue * Sour - one spot on each side of the tongue toward the front * Salt - one spot on each side of the tongue toward the back
