The thing I find most "unbelievable" about the show is that I have saw
Grissom "taste" evidence it 3 different shows.

He tasted toothpaste that had been used to fill in a hole in the wall.
He licked a bone. And, he tasted a yellow substance on a shopping
cart that turned out to be mustard. Ever heard of baby shift yellow?


Almost every chemical substance is characterized by "taste," as in
"odorless, colorless, tasteless..."

Taste is a common diagnostic tool.
