Ethan W 2011-12 The purpose of this study was to determine if different foods and drinks affect the taste buds so someone couldn’t taste something. The taste buds are sensory structures on different parts of the tongue. The method is to eat something/ nothing then time to see how long it takes to guess the right Jelly Bean. Watermelon and Tutti-Frutti tied for hardest to guess while coconut is the easiest. This is true, because there are so many fruity flavors it is hard to pick out which one it is while coconut a non-fruity flavor is easy to guess.
 * THE STUDY OF HO****W DIFFERENT FOODS AFFECT THE TASTE BUDS**
 * ABSTRACT**

The results for the first experiment show that the fruitier the flavor the harder it is to guess since there is so many fruity flavors. The results for the second experiment show that the better tasting the drink the harder it is to guess. The results for the third experiment show that the blander the food is, the easier it is to guess the flavor of jelly bean. These results from experiment 4 shows that overall the orange flavor is the hardest to guess after eating for most amounts of time. Green Apple and Root Beer are equally as hard to guess both with an average 11.3. This data is important to the world, because if this data is shown to the Jelly Beans makers the packs of Jelly Beans with the hard to guess flavors might not be sold anymore. The hypothesis is correct for the first experiment on if the flavor is fruity there are a lot of fruity flavors so it would be hard to guess. Do most of the same things, but with a different candy (Mike-n-Ike)
