Taste and smell affect each other?
Answers:
Duh....
definitely. if you have runny nose, you cant taste anything at all.
Yes, they do...have you ever had a cold and not be able to taste the food that you are eating? Smell and taste go hand-in-hand.

Taste is 85% smell.
Our taste buds are actually very weak.
That's why when you smell something really strong, you can almost "taste" it.
EDIT - hey, dude below me - I type fast and don't spell check, as spell check ruins the ability for people to catch their own mistakes - I'm sorry I missed a letter; I'm not exactly writing a paper here. At least I gave a semi-decent answer as opposed to an elementary school science experiment.
Absolutely! The olfactory nerves play a very important role in distinguishing flavors.
have you ever held your nose while taking medicine as a kid. it worked. try drinking two types of soda holding your nose. you can not tell the difference.
yes of course! haven't you ever smelled something and could taste it?
try this: eat an apple while smelling a fresh cut onion.
and lol at the person above who bragged about passing the "forth" grade. its fourth.
What people commonly call taste is actually flavor, which is a combination of taste and smell.
There are five basic tastes, salty, sweet, bitter, sour, and umami, and thousands of different smells. So these combine to produce an essentially limitless number of flavors, which are mostly affected by smell.
definately, its a whole connected system
