I bet your taste/scent sensitivities go hand-in-hand. Lauren, I’m the same way with scent–to the point that I have a hard time being around people who wear more than a tiny bit of cologne or perfume!

I have a really good sense of smell (seriously, this is more curse than blessing). The other day, my fiancé tried to trick me by asking which conditioner he had used. He had actually mixed 2...and I guessed them both! As smell is so closely linked to taste, it might make sense if I also had a good sense of taste. And, I do like my food extra-salty. Luckily, cooking my own food usually means consuming less of all the bad stuff--salt, calories, chemicals, etc. I don’t know if I’m a supertaster, but I wouldn’t be surprised if I was.
