A fully 33% of people can't even taste bitter.

No one talks about this science, it could be you 👀

Way! I did 23andMe with 4 people. The test came back indicating 2 "can't taste bitter".

We did an empirical study on the 4 of us with "bitter strips." As it turned out, the strips tasted like absolutely nothing to them and it was the most bitter taste imaginable.

The 2 who couldn't taste bitter were lager drinkers and hated IPA's.

that's pretty interesting, and I was completely unaware of that

It's not like color blindness, it would be hard to know.
