taste test (can't taste a damn thing) 

if u had told me 2 years ago i would be watching a vid from dodie of doddleoddle fame being spoon-fed mustard because she can’t taste it due to a global virus i would’ve probs cried or somethin idk

i love that she kept smelling it even after they established that they couldn't smell anything

And she smells like **[redacted]** and **[redacted]** She tastes like **[redacted]** and **[redacted]**

'but to her, I taste of nothing at all' has never been so true lol

PSA: the other people in the vid are dodie’s flatmates and since they’ve been exposed already they are all isolating together :) edit: her flatmates have also previously had COVID, so their risk of getting it again is minimal. edit pt2: To everyone blowing up my comments with stats about new strains and stuff, I’m not defending or condemning whether dodie is being safe enough. I just saw a lot of comments expressing concern so I thought I’d write what dodie had said in response to those comments so it didn’t have to be answered a bunch of separate times. That’s all, I’m not saying this type of isolation should be recommend or if it’s reckless, I was just repeating what dodie had said to concerned commenters.

“covid isn’t fun” is the mood it’s been 2 years

idk if you’re congested but your whole accent has changed and your voice has deepened this is mad

The fear of getting covid and losing my taste/smell is unreal. I've been able to get both doses of Pfeizer, thankfully, but using my senses is legitimately 100% my job as a winemaker. I was so terrified before I was vaccinated.

Oh no you lost your senses!!! I didn’t realize I lost my smell until I stuck my nose into a new bottle of nail polish remover and thought “wow this barely has any smell they finally solved the problem” and then remembered I had Covid.. Hope you get better soon and get your taste back!

martin and greta using dodie's hat to cover her eyes is very wholesome

My mum lost her taste and smell when she was in her 20's and she doesn't know why, she's now in her 60's and has forgotten what lots of things smell like. Every few years she'll suddenly be able to smell or taste something for a minute and it's always so exciting

When you’re better, would love to see a side by side reaction to the same stuff when you can actually taste and smell things! #oldschoolyoutube

This looked like fun, but its also surreal as covid is such a horrific thing; I am glad that you are one of the fortunate ones who is not so unwell that you are on the edge of death. Stay safe, get well soon, Thanks for keeping everyone else safe by isolating :)

I can only imagine the stomach ache she had after this vid. Hope she feels better soon!

the amount of people i've heard say they want covid because they won't eat anything since they can't taste it, just to ✨get skinny✨ is honestly frightening

when i had covid recently, i had a terrible temperature for several days. it was dreadful. then i made myself a bowl of ramen, ate it. it turned out that this ramen was the spiciest ramen i ever did, and i didn’t really feel the spice. my dad tried it, and he cried. the pepper was in the air, and everyone sneezed a lot. Also it lowered my temperature from 38 to 35 C.

"the sensation of tang" what an excellent album title

I love the "BUILD A--- MASSIVE THRONE MADE FROM MERCH" sign it really expresses their dynamic

Why do I find this so fascinating? Awful, obviously, but fascinating

Gosh losing my taste and smell was the worst when I got covid. I couldn’t eat all the chocolates I had been given for Christmas because the texture of it without the taste was just horrendous. Wouldn’t recommend covid to anyone (obviously lmao) , wear masks and stay indoors when necessary peopleeee, the pandemic still ain’t over yet unfortunately :(

it's crazy how you can have the sensation of certain tastes but not recognizing it because of your loss of smell. take care of yourself and I hope you feel better soon!

all the foods: "but to her..... I taste of nothing at all" 🎶

build a MASSIVE THRONE MADE FROM MERCH

I had covid 10 months ago and my sense of taste and smell is still screwed up and I cannot eat ANYTHING but noodles without feeling like throwing up😊

Interesting Marmite fact: There's been a Covid-related national shortage. Pub closures = less beer needed = less beer brewed = less of the yeast by-product used to make Marmite. It's a cruel irony if it's one of the *only* things people with Covid can actually taste.

So is this the time to have and win a competition of eating really sour foods and firey jawbreakers or something?

If I had covid and couldn't taste anything I would go on an immensely healthy food diet like so healthy it would taste horrible, all the benefits with no taste 😂😂

Covid taught me how to boil eggs. Covod taught dodie to use egg cups as a shot glass.

“Just sip it” *chugs lea and perrins*

Dodie's tongue: Yeah, I don't care, let's ex the worcestershire sauce, I'm invincible! Dodie's stomach: Uh, maybe take it easy okay, I still have to work with mustard marmite ginger here!

"The sensation of tang" Someone just got their new band name

I loved the way he said “I can’t believe you asked for more!” 🤣

I know some people might think you are making light of covid, but I love this. Not only is this facinating, it is so refreshing seeing someone online with the virus just being themselves and having fun (in a safe and responsible way). Realistcally covid is going to be a part of all of our lives for awhile yet, and if you are fortunate enough to still laugh through it I think its important to do so!

Love how she's playing on the radio in Kansas, us, but I get to watch these videos too.

fun fact.. i guess? some of your favorite foods pre-covid might taste gross to u after u get ur taste back. sucks but also u get to expand your pallet to new foods.

i got a fun fact due to why u can actually "taste" spiciness: spicy is actually not a tasting sense but a heat sense, so it's not perceived through taste buds but through thermoceptors! that's why u can "taste" it

Try the burnt orange trick! Might not work but worth a shot🤷🏻‍♀️

Y'all they're all exposed so they're isolating together, they're being safe besties

So weird that you can still taste things like sour, Tangy-ness and spice but not the actual flavors of those things. I never want to get covid but this bizarre side effect is something I've wanted to experience since I first heard about it.

i found dodie a couple years back when i was going thru dp/dr and i felt like someone understood my pain. now here i am again feeling that type of way because i haven't able to smell or taste a dang thing for about 7 months...👀👀

I feel like that would be really cool and fun for a bit, just screwing around with things you wouldn't normally eat because you can't taste or smell it but it would just get really depressing after a while and then scary if it didn't come back for weeks

helou Me and my whole family got covid december last year. I dont really follow ur channel, and i hope this doesnt come off as too out there, but i hope u get better soon very very fast! i hope u have very mild symptoms and that they go away quickly and i also hope nobody in ur family or friend circle get "the evil plague" either. Idk how different the treatment plans are depending on the country but I just always advice people to get a finger oxymeter (if u dont have one already), im sure you have heard about all of this before, but just watch out for the oxygen lvls, anything under 90% is bad news, fever u can keep down, bad symptoms pass, but hypoxia, specially if its silent can be tricky. Stay strong! Eat well, drink water and rest a lot

I had Covid in November, eating an apple was the first time I realized I lost taste and smell... it tasted like a hard boiled egg only the wrong texture. Hope you get your taste and smell back soon, and completely. I got most of mine back, some things took longer that others and there are still things I am not sure about like diesel that it has to be fairly concentrated for me to smell

All i keep thinking of is "do her roomates have covid too?"

I want dodie to try that orange remedy everyone on tiktok said worked for taste and smell and let us know if it does!

I didnt lose taste but my partner did. I usually make him fried eggs for breakfast cause he loves them, but without the taste he found the texture disgusting. He said it was like eating mucus.

She tastes like nothing juice and nothing

You know someone’s British if they say „That’s the saddest thing. I can’t smell tea“.

i have covid too and i lost my taste and smell and i ended up eating more than i normally do since food tastes like either mushy water or cronchy water

Dear dodie- plz take care and feel better 💖 ty for all the joy you bring ✨✨✨

i could listen to Dodie talk FOREVER

"BUILD A -PROBLEM.- MASSIVE THRONE MADE FROM MERCH" omg

You're probably not the first person to do this, but you're the first that I'm subbed to and I love it

wait! finally another person who hates truffle!

"The Sensation of Tang" was my favorite experimental jazz album of the 70s

okay maybe it's just the germaphobe in me but when martin double dipped her spoon into the mustard WHILE SHE HAS COVID AND IS CONTAGIOUS... that shit messed me up

I had Covid with this exact symptoms and it's seriously bizzare. I couldn't smell ANYTHING! Even the steam from boiling water with ginger in it. It's crazy!

I hope you feel better soon!

I got covid six months ago and still can't smell properly Doritos taste like chemicals I can taste salty and sweet but I can't taste the actual food like chips are salty but I CABTS FULLY TASTE THE CHIP Bleach smells like rotten plasticine Take care of yourselfs, you the lucky ones that haven't gotten it cuz IT SUCKS

keep your voice dodes!!! covid can make a huge impact on your voice, please keep it safe. wishing for a good and safe recovery

I am happy that COVID has only affected you taste and smell. My friend died only after four days in the hospital. You are so lucky

I had covid and lost my smell and taste too!! seriously the freakiest sensation ever… like you know it should have a flavor but it just doesn’t. My friend blindfolded me and gave me essential oils to smell and I seriously couldn’t smell even a little bit of them. thankfully my senses returned after a few weeks but jeez!! so strange

Its reminding me of the miracle Berry taste test thing but like... covid

i also think i should maybe warn that my experience with covid didn't help too much with derealization/depersonalization. lacking two other senses kind of separated me from myself even more than usual

get well soon!!! at least you can eat weird things with no consequences!

This is so intriguing to watch! My mum and I both had covid (supposedly, it was back in January 2020) and I couldn’t taste anything for a while. This brings back so many weird memories. Hopefully your sense of smell and taste comes back soon! Take it easy.

I'm literally going through the same thing right now. I'm losing my smell and taste. All I could think of was you in this video. I love you Dodie, take care Kai -X-

During COVID I had no appetite really, I fed on whatever shit there was in the fridge because nothing had a taste at all. Its not like a common cold where flavours are kind of there but behind a curtain, or they come and go or are hard to reach. With COVID your sense of taste/smell is completely deactivated, there's nothing at all, it was quite mental. One random day 7 days after I was diagnosed and after waking up from a 3 hour nap, they randomly came back. Flavours were a bit distorted for a day or two, and then all back to normal.

wishing you a speedy recovery love!!

"Is it vinegar? :)" They're not sadists Dodie 😂

I hope you feel better sooooon!! (The hat eye mask is 👌 king shit) Edit: the disconnect between the physiological reactions and the actual taste isn't something I considered before! Like the sour lemon~ and the texture thing!! Wild~

Hope you recover soonest. Love that smile.

I love that they’re all able to kind of make light of it and laugh bc she’s got such a mild case

This is so interesting to watch! I was born without my sense of smell so it's fascinating to see someone describe the experience when they do understand what the addition of smell should be doing. Like, to me lemon is just sour and I'm intrigued what it is that makes it different to most people. Hope you're feeling better soon and that your sense of smell comes back quickly like it does for most people with covid. If it does take longer to come back, there's a few sense of smell organisations in the UK that can give you advice such as Fifth Sense and Abscent

The energy is very good abt everything in this one

I love your dress ahhh please spill the beans on where you get your clothes from, such ✨aesthetic✨

Hopefully you're not one of the unlucky ones with lasting symptoms : | Glad you're safe at least : ) Wishing the UK well from Australia.

The "build a massive throne made from merch" sign made me think of the GoT iron throne but with postie dodie hats

i hope you feel better soon. it must be quite weird to get what stopped your life from afar. well get well soon

My grandma died from covid but I still enjoy the videos like this one. We are allowed to have fun with what we're given. I don't want covid to be a tragic thing to everyone. For someone it can just be an experience to overcome. I hope you get well soon.

Hope you feel better soon beautiful dodie you sre still have amazing bubbly personality love you so much dodie

Aw hope you feel better soon Dodie

Thank you for doing this! I'm just getting over COVID and the lingering effect is not being able to smell or taste anything, and I swear my family thinks I'm lying that I still can't smell a LOT of things! Now I can show them this video!!!

Ngl The Sensation of Tang sounds like a great band!

I hope you feel better soon! Love from the U.S.

She should write a song called “the sensation of tang” based on this taste test.

The worst thing when i had covid was i had a burger and chips and beer battered onion rings and it tasted like absolutely nothing😭 it was like your burger analogy actually happening, a big, juicy burger but no taste at all! You should have one of those ginger shot things you like

This is the perfect opportunity to eat all the food that is really good for you, but tastes horrible

this video is fizz before fizz

build a -problem- MASSIVE THRONE MADE FROM MERCH

greta: it’s british dodie: is it SiRAchA? 😂😂

Still giving us content when you’re miserably sick? Thank you 🙏 I dearly hope after you get your taste back everything goes back to normal. My taste has been screwed for close to 8 months now after I got miss rona

4:50 - i hope you use a new spoon for this coz now that jar full of mustard is contaminated with COVID-19

awe dodie, sending wishes for u to be okay, glad your with friends though!

Part 2? Don’t know why I found this funny

i haven’t tried from experience but i heart burnt orange rinds and lots of garlic can bring back the sensation of taste if you wanted to try

Even with the circumstances I am happy to be seeing vlogs from you again

omg I can't imagine having the sensation of the thing you're "tasting" but you don't experience any flavour

The anosmics of the world welcome you (temporarily, hopefully) to the sensation of flavor without smell.

~exhales directly into friends tea~
