ooooooh, I have an idea or
three...........
Take two of the eight, flip a coin, winner moves to the next round, continue until one remains. Test that one first.
Then repeat the process for the remaining seven.
Or just ignore my well reasoned idea, and go with smell.
But, if you go by smell, then which one goes first? Which smell is the deciding one? One whose smell you like or one you don't. If you determine your testing by smell, then your brain will have selected ones you don't prefer "by smell".
Hmmm......... a conundrum.
I wouldn't go by smell. I would close my eyes, mix them up, no peeking, and select one of the eight. Seems more fair, to me.
B-b-but....... how will you "reset" your
sense of taste in-between testing each one. LOLz, this needs to be a fair test!!!
Okay......... I will totally S-T-F-U now............ unless I think of "other" variables........
