[QUOTE="Indecisi0n, post: 4349896, member: 35289"] You didn't misread that headline. People have been putting soy sauce on their testicles to see whether their nether parts can detect the salty condiment, and recording their reactions for the benefit of social media, particularly Tik Tok. How did we get here in the year of our lord 2020, you ponder? In short, the internet has been [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_whispers']playing telephone[/URL] with some actual science, originally published in [I]PNAS[/I] in 2013. When Bedrich Mosinger and colleagues from the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia [URL='https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1302827110']published a mouse study on taste receptor involvement[/URL] in male fertility, they probably didn't expect it to launch a Tik Tok trend seven years later. Yet here we are. Now, male testes do have taste receptors. According to various [URL='https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/soy-sauce-on-testicles-do-testicles-have-taste-buds']sources[/URL], [URL='https://www.tiktok.com/@cryinginthecar']Tik Tok user Regan[/URL] kicked off the trend upon discovering this fact, asking people with testicles to "dip your balls in something, it's for science and I must know." Unfortunately, the source she cited was [I]Daily Mail[/I], whose report on the original study made some ballsy claims. The distinction here is that testicles don't have[I] tastebuds[/I] (clusters of taste receptor cells) and they can't taste soy sauce. But with surprising vigour, the science quickly went from this: [URL="https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.sciencealert.com/people-are-dipping-their-testicles-in-soy-sauce-so-here-s-some-science/amp"]People Are Dipping Their Testicles in Soy Sauce, So Here's Some Science[/URL] [/QUOTE]
