the default way for things to taste is good. we know this because “tasty” means something tastes good. conversely, from the words “smelly” and “noisy” we can conclude that the default way for things to smell and sound is bad. interestingly there are no corresponding adjectives for the senses of sight and touch. the inescapable conclusion is that the most ordinary object possible is invisible and intangible, produces a hideous cacophony, smells terrible, but tastes delicious. and yet this description matches no object or phenomenon known to science or human experience. so what the fuck

this is what ancient greek philosophy is like

I would protest the use of noisy as a datapoint as unllike smelly or tasty it does not refer directly to the sense itself and rather derived from a somewhat generic term for something you hear, one that generally has a negative connotation. However touchy is a word that fits the theme of smelly and tasty better and refers to emotional volatility.
