when you said it tastes like biting into a 9v battery.  That sounds to me like an actual "taste".  as if you are tasting some nasty chemical flavor that is reminiscent of battery acid?

If that is the case, then that is not at all what i meant!  what i had had no taste, no chemical flavor. it only "tasted" like paper. Have you ever touched your tongue to the positive/negative terminals of a 9v battery?

if you have not, then you can't understand what i mean.  what i'm describing is not a taste, rather a sensation.  its a buzzing, tingling sensation on the tongue, not a taste at all...

I wanted to clarify this.
