Yawns That Taste Like Foods
I believe that I can safely say my job lacks any real excitement. Due to this fact, it isn’t exactly uncommon for me to yawn quite a bit in the afternoon as I sit in my office. (this is also partially due to my lack of sleep during the week)
It being 5:14 on a particularly slow day, I just yawned.
After the yawn was complete and I closed my lips, I had the distinct taste of butter in my mouth. Yes, you heard me correctly. Butter.
I have not consumed anything consisting of butter as an ingredient in over 24 hours. Hence, it’s quite suspect that I would be tasting butter after a yawn. What’s even more suspect is that it’s always butter. It’s never any other type of food or condiment. It’s always butter.
Has anyone else experienced this bizarre yawn phenomenon? Am I alone on this one? I mean, it’s not that tasting butter is necessarily a bad thing. Hell, it’s actually quite nice when I’m hungry. It’s simply that I don’t know why the taste of butter appears after a small percentage of my yawns.
I’m going to go home now and ponder this for a while.
Respectfully yours,
