Reply to comment by Caucasiafro in ELI5: If the tongue can only taste five basic flavors (sweet, sour, bitter, salty, umami), why isn't it possible to create any flavor by mixing those five together in precise combinations? by bokbokboi

A great example of this is how food doesn't taste the same when you have a cold.
