John  Lee  Supertaster  (Bonus  Live  Version)  -  They  Might  Be  Giants

  When  I  was  39  years  old,

    I  found  out  people  walking  among  us

  who  have  superpowers.

    These  people  are  called  Supertasters.

    To  a  Supertaster,

    bitter  fruits  taste  far  more  bitter,

    and  sweets  far  more  sweet.

    Then,  just  a  few  months  ago,

  I  had  the  chance  to  meet  a  real,

  live  Supertaster  named  John  Lee.

    And  this  is  his  true  story:

    Nothing  tastes  the  same
