Avoid bad tastes by plugging your nose

we cannot taste food when our nose is plugged
Most of what we recognize as taste actually comes from our sense of smell. It’s actually the odor molecules from food provide us with most of our taste sensation. So if you have kids who think their liquid medicine tastes gross, have them plug their nose as they take it. Or if you’re ever in a situation where you have to eat or drink something unpleasant, plug your nose before you put it in your mouth. Doing that will keep them—and you—from tasting something you’d rather not taste.
