| What a colorful story! :wink: Ive even heard of a person who perceived words with visual color images. I was thinking in that direction, but didn't feel so bold as to tell myself that that was the answer. With a name like "Blondulla", I was thinking it might me a "dull (dumb) blonde" joke. |

| I really like this one, even though i have heard of the condition before. i wish i had it to music, as i've heard of a few having :) |

| Yay, finally a useless fact that I know comes in handy! :D
(Once I'd checked that it wasn't in the trick category - I thought it might have something to do with alphabet soup if it was a trick ) :lol: |

| my mom has it, she also tastes what shee heers. |

| Posted by metallicman | 01/07/06 |
| Shas two different kinds? I really doubt that. There hasn't been a single documented case (I did my homework) where someone has two different cases. |
|
| Posted by Warrior_Poet | 01/12/06 |
| He didn't say she had two different kinds. His mother tastes what she hears also, just like the girl in the story. |

| amazing! i would have not believed you ahd i not jsut done a paper in this in psychlogy class. i loved the topic. numbers had colors, like, the number 2 in type was green, (even though it was black) and 5 was red, chicken tasted pointy, all these other amazing things. i got it right away, but loved it. |

| I'm shocked. I looked this up after reading about it...
Wow...
I have this! In my case, I can see what I hear. I can hear just about anything and some kind of image comes to mind.
And I seriously thought that everyone did this! |

| Oh... I didn't read the category... Supposed she was talking about french fries, which are called chips in Britain, or something... |

| Amazing! Isn't it?!! Superb teaser. You seem to have even stymied 'ol LM' .....lol WTG! The powers some of us have. :wink: |
|
| Posted by Synlapse | 11/03/06 |
| Actually, Blondulla thought Fred meant buffalo chips and she didn't want him to have to eat his words. :lol: |

| This is true, I have read a magazine article about it. Thanks for some new thoughts. |

| Posted by zaya | 11/03/06 |
| Thanks Cliff, you're really smart! Can someone please explain how this is a teaser, versus just some statement of random fact. :roll: :( :roll: |
|
| Posted by locutus13ds | 11/03/06 |
| By me.. I can barely taste what I eat!!!!??? :roll: |
|
| Posted by FatHead | 11/03/06 |
| Wow, I just learned something! |
|
| Posted by wordmama | 11/03/06 |
| I agree with Zaya. To me a teaser is something you can figure out. This was a condition you either had heard of or not.
:-? :-? |
|
| Posted by tchershelly | 11/03/06 |
| I do these teasxers as a way of making me use my brain. This was just some fact, keep to the spirit of the game. |
|
| Posted by tchershelly | 11/03/06 |
| excuse me "teasers" |
|
| Posted by udoboy | 11/03/06 |
| I too agree with Zaya. I knew about the condition, but figured that wasn't the "teaser" and was off on a tangent trying to figure out what made "chip" taste bad v. some other word, like computer, which wouldn't taste bad. |

| I actually got this one right, when I thought my answer would be wrong (I was also contemplating that maybe the girl just didn't like junkfood or something). I thought the subject was cool, but I didn't really like how the teaser itself was set up...still, a very wicked cool piece of trivia! Thanks! |

| I found this through google. This web site claims that it is possible to have more than one kind of synaesthesia.
Q.5 Is it possible for a synaesthete to have more than one type of synaesthesia?
Yes, around half of all synaesthetes have more than one type of synaesthesia, such as taste, sound and touch all producing colours (Day, 2002). Chains may potentially exist, such as speech producing taste and taste then producing colour. It would be very interesting to speak to people who think that they might have this. ^ |

| I thought the person just didn't like chips!!! Them again what do I know I'm in Junior High!!! |

| Posted by MalcolmReynolds | 11/03/06 |
| According to Wikipedia, it isn't rare at all; closer to 1/23, with females having by far the highest concentration, of 6:1. I might have a sort of form of it, where I sort of associate words with pictures that don't correspond with the meaning of the word at all.
Wiki also noted though, that estimates had ranged from 1/23 to 1/20,000, though, 1/23 was more accepted.
Interesting. |

| Whoa! That's so cool! I've never heard of it though. I thought she was a computer or something and he was typing the words in. I don't know. |

| Good teaser!
I, myself, have heard of the condition, but didnt even think about it when it came to the teaser! Brilliant! |
|
| Posted by luvdoritos706 | 11/03/06 |
| wow!!!!!!!! thats interesting....never knew...thats for the new information |
|
| Posted by blonde_genius | 11/03/06 |
| Great teaser!!! I actually knew this. I read a really good (fiction) book in which the main character had synesthesia. |
|
| Posted by twixy | 11/03/06 |
| yeah i heard about this too. great teaser! :D |
|
| Posted by vlerma | 11/03/06 |
| Great information but I guess I didn't see the teaser part of it other than I didn't know the answer. Factual inforation is great tho so good job tinman.
Wonder if that is what it is called when you accidentally touch a fork to a metal filling and your mouth goes all drooly? Just a thought.
Keep them coming as we are never too old to learn something new. :D |
|
| Posted by lilazn3rd1500 | 11/03/06 |
| I read a novel about a girl who has this condition. The teaser wasn't too hard after I read that book. But great teaser anyway. |
|
| Posted by tdbrsun | 11/03/06 |
| Very Interesting. I did not know this. I ofcourse did not quess an answer. Thanks for info. |
|
| Posted by ragdol13 | 11/03/06 |
| wow...
my guess was that the girl was on LSD... i was close though! kind of.. :D |

| Posted by Trishgal | 11/04/06 |
| Hey, this was great. 8) And since the category was plainly marked SCIENCE-understanding of phisical and biological laws required- nobody needs to gripe and hey I learned something. THX. :wink: |
|
| Posted by i_luv_2_read | 11/04/06 |

| not really a "teaser" but enjoy all new info :) |
|
| Posted by Qrystal | 12/07/06 |
| I too had to double-check the category thinking it had to be Trick. Since it wasn't, I just knew I didn't know.
And now I know something new! What a wild concept!! It's amazing how the brain works sometimes. Now I'm going to be on the lookout for peculiar associations in my experiences, in case I have anything like this. Wicked teaser! |

|
| Posted by AndrewWalker | 12/16/07 |
| I knew this one. I don't know if I see what I hear, or if I just have a vivid imagination, but if I did have it then it would another brain disfuntion I have :lol: |
