Test subject 2 associated the lime flavor with green. The least distinguishable flavors were pear and orange and banana the most. Orange was associated with other flavors this time such as apple, peach and pure sucrose. Pear was associated with fruits such as blueberry and pineapple. The taste variation could have been because the test subjects swallowed water after ingesting each jelly bean. Overall, banana was the most distinguished flavor compared to the other flavors in each group indicating that perhaps the participants used memory association when tasting the flavor. Furthermore, some of the test subjects had an aversion to the pear flavor and associated it with something unpleasant. The variation in taste reactions suggests taste varies from individuals and can depend on the density in taste receptors on the tongue. Some individuals have a higher density of taste receptors than others therefore have more taste buds
