no

eww. no

You two really have deep intellectual discussions, don't you?

I think Yes .. but since we taste it all the time .. we are kinda used to it .

Yeah, mine's cherry. lol

It doesn't. Although it may have a different scent (which depends on how well you take care of your teeth), saliva does not have its own flavor. Right now there is saliva in your mouth. Do you taste anything?

The taste of your mouth.

No. Other people's saliva doesn't taste any different either, IMO.

LMAO!! I guess it depends on what you ate last.. that is a funny a** question!! good luck in your search for the answer..

Mr. Owl, how many licks does it take to get to the center of a gross question?

Yeah, I am bored! How did you know?

This is a gross but intriguing question. I would say yes, because we all have slightly different body chemistry, plus depending on how well your body is hydrated and how many toxins are floating around before being expelled would make your saliva taste different. It's like people's breath. Some people have sweeter smelling breath than others, some it's downright bad, and if someone is in fat-burning mode or dieting, then that is all together another icky smell. I know when I'm dieting, my mouth tastes downright nasty even to me! EWE!
