Momentary tasting colors/ temporary synesthesia. This is where a character, due to magic, poison, drugs, blow to the head, etc. starts tasting, smelling or hearing colours or other variations. Related to and may be preceded by Non Sequitur, *Thud*. Colors like blue and purple are popular.note This is likely because it would be considered the most bizarre and unlikely in nature (Name any color, and you can probably think of a few natural foods that are of that color; "tasting red" might lead to thinking of apples, or "tasting yellow" could lead to bananas or lemons. Aside from blueberries, which as George Carlin noted are "blue on the vine, purple on the plate," blue is a rare color in nature.) Either that, or purple is just an objectively funny color. Often played for humor. Doesn't cover characters just speaking metaphorically.note A key difference between this trope and Tastes Like Feet is that normally it would be impossible for people to taste or hear colors, but it is quite possible for people to taste things like feet and motor oil. The exception of course is those with the condition synesthesia. And most of the color examples at Tastes Like Feet are metaphors: a food with color X is described as tasting like color X. Those don't belong here. Only include examples where a character is made to taste (or hear or see, but taste is most common) something which rightfully does not have a taste at all. The character tastes something which rightfully does not have a taste at all, or experiences other synesthetic weirdness. May be related to Insubstantial Ingredients, where whatever they're eating actually contains abstract concepts. Not to be confused with Editorial Synesthesia where the characters sense things normally, it's just things have to be displayed differently for the viewer. For the conventional taste of unconventional things see It Tastes Like Feet. See also When Is Purple and Magical Sensory Effect. |

Dragon Age In Dragon Age: Origins, one of the gift items is a bottle of Chasind Sack Mead, described as having a flavor "reminiscent of warm summer days and apple blossoms on the wind, with an unexpected aftertaste of Father going off to war, never to return." The sequel features a ham that apparently tastes of despair. Hawke's companion wants to know how that's possible and why anyone would eat it if it was. It's mentioned again in the third game; Dorian is fascinated by it. |

The Simpsons: In "Selma's Choice" Selma takes Bart and Lisa to Duff Gardens, and Lisa drinks the water from the boat ride on a dare: "Ooh, I can see the music!" In "Homer and Apu" Lisa has a similar quote on eating a spice-heavy Indian meal: "I can see through time!" Homer's "food sense" is so pronounced he can smell the letters on a birthday cake and hear pudding. In one episode, Lisa finds a crankiness cure and gives it to Grandpa. They try to isolate out of a drop of his sweat by giving every chemical in it back to him one at a time. One reaction was "I taste music." |

In In Flight, Shirou's ability to sense magical phenomena is interpreted by his brain in terms of smells. Normally when trying to identify the various Sekirei's powers, this is pretty straightforward, however in Miya's case, one aspect of her aura, he can only describe as smelling like "remorse". | |

In Freefall, Florence asks two robots "What does your name smell like?" It's actually a simple yet effective Turing test. Non-Sapient AIs simply declare the question nonsensical and thus unanswerable and move on; Sapient AIs ask themselves, "Why would she ask me what my name smells like?" and work from there (starting at this strip). For those who don't care to read the whole sequence: the second robot Florence asks reasons that since a machine doesn't have a sense of smell and a wolf has a very good one, it would have no way of knowing for sure that names don't have smells, and so can't rule out the possibility that they do. |

Terezi from Homestuck was the victim of an Eye Scream incident and thus is technically blind, but she learned to effectively see again, well enough to view things that are at least several miles away, by smelling and tasting colors. Several other trolls have Psychic Powers, but Terezi's ability is treated as a learned skill rather than a power. This probably runs on nonsenseoleum, but it could also be Bizarre Alien Biology. She was taught by her lusus, an unhatched dragon communicating psychically with her from inside its egg. Apparently the synesthesia is normal for that species, so Terezi's is Charles Atlasish at least, if not magical. | |

Persona 4: At one point, the characters have a contest to see who makes the best fried rice omelet. Kanji tastes Yukiko's and pronounces that it tastes "boneless." When she protests that that's not a flavor, he says that that's the closest word he can think of because it somehow has literally no flavor at all. The protagonist samples and thinks that yes, it somehow lacks any flavor whatsoever. | |

In The Conversion Bureau: The Other Side of the Spectrum, when the magical portal that transports the human character of the story into Canon!Equestria opens up over Ponyville, Twilight Sparkle remarks that everything tastes purple for a moment when she senses massive amounts of magical energy radiating from it. Similarly, in Earth and Sky, asking Pip what color he tastes (blue, incidentally) is part of the physical for using Twilight's artificial wings. Given that rainbows are edible (albeit as Blazing Inferno Hellfire Sauce) in Equestria, it's somewhat feasible that colors have distinct flavors that aren't tied to foods at all. |

Dungeons & Dragons. In 2nd Edition, the Complete Psionics Handbook had psionic abilities that did this: Feel Light, Feel Sound, Hear Light and See Sound. 3.5 Edition has the synesthete psionic power, which inflicts this on the user. It's primarily used to "see" with your skin, and thus protect against gaze attacks. |

Farscape. In a "Freaky Friday" Flip, D'Argo is thrown into Pilot's body and finds himself bombarded by all the sensors of Moya that Pilot deals with as a matter of course. To help him focus, Pilot (now in Chiana's body) tells him to concentrate on a faint noise that's at a higher pitch from the others (which represents Moya's life-support system), and to help D'Argo find it tells him to close his eyes and 'look' for a dark red color. | |

Peter Crenshaw from The Three Investigators has the real world neurological condition known as Synesthesia, which makes the brain interpret a single sense as multiple senses. Pete perceives words, numbers, music, and sounds with colors. He thought everyone could do that and was surprised to find out they didn't. | |

Freeman's Mind features a moment of this in episode 59, when Gordon thinks he's heard someone green. He then thinks he might have taken some brain damage from his recent adventures, since he'd never experienced synesthesia before. It was an aftereffect of the teleporter he'd unwittingly used at the end of episode 57. At the end of episode 59, he gets the full effect of it, and ends up snapping back to Lambda Core at the beginning of episode 60. Part 2 of Barney's Mind Episode 15 does the same thing. When Barney jumps into Dr. Rosenberg's teleporter, he asks why his mouth tastes like green. He then shortly becomes stuck in a harmonic reflux that sends him teleporting between Xen, Counter-Strike, the future, and Sector C of Black Mesa, before being able to leave once and for all. |

The Good Place: This is true of the afterlife. The titular good place has a lot of frozen yogurt shops, with some unconventional flavours, like "haircut compliment". Eleanor tries a sample of yogurt that tastes like the relaxed feeling you get from knowing your phone is fully charged. The air in the titular good place smells like whatever makes one happiest. That can be specific smells from real life but also complex chains of events or abstract concepts. The Bad Place has produced a body spray that smells like the Transformers films feel; "Loud and confusing", according to Eleanor. Gen, the Judge, likes to add envy to her burritos, as a condiment. |

Similarly, in Earth and Sky, asking Pip what color he tastes (blue, incidentally) is part of the physical for using Twilight's artificial wings. Given that rainbows are edible (albeit as Blazing Inferno Hellfire Sauce) in Equestria, it's somewhat feasible that colors have distinct flavors that aren't tied to foods at all. | |

A variant in Layers of Fear: The Mad Artist protagonist sometimes hears sounds coming from nearby rooms, and approaching them reveals that the source is, more often than not, a painting related to the subject. An example being, the artist hears the sound of a dog barking from a corridor he can't see the end of. But as he approaches, the dog turns out to be a picture of a dog...that spontaneously bursts into flames while the dog whimpers in agony. | |

Because of Winn-Dixie includes the Littmus Lozenge, a candy that tastes like a mixture of strawberry, root beer and "melancholy". It's said to have been invented by a candymaker who perfected its formula right after losing his family in The American Civil War (since he needed something sweet in his life to cheer him up), with his sadness affecting him so strongly that it could be tasted by everyone who ate his candy. Miss Fanny even describes "sorrow" as the the secret ingredient of the lozenge. A little girl describes it as "Tastes like when you don't have a dog". | |

Sweet Genius Many a contestant learns the hard way that Chef Ron is sensitive to the chemical taste of blue food coloring. More literally, one contestant actually had a natural case of synesthesia and attempted to produce desserts that also appealed to her own unique senses. Unfortunately, this resulted in a weak presentation and she lost. |

Batgirl: In Batgirl (2009), Batgirl has helped Klarion the Witch Boy (dum, dum, dum) reclaim his cat familiar, Teekl, and now the two of them are strolling through a Valentine's Day festival (Completely platonically, trust me on this one). When Jordanna, a "friend" of Stephanie's from school, begins to mock Klarion, Stephanie forcibly kisses him to keep him from turning Jordanna into a frog. | |

In Dresden Files, if a spell isn't cast correctly or uses too much power, "backlash" can occur, possibly causing Consequences, long-term effects that can complicate your character's life. One of the suggested consequences is "I Can Taste Purple", which Harry confirms is not atypical when spells go wrong. | |

In Space Adventure Cobra, episode 20, Cobra fights the current king of the Swordians — living swords with psionic abilities. When the king realizes he is up against a human, he psionically changes Cobra's perception around, so that he sees sound and hears light. The anime even shows what Cobra perceives instead of what an innocent bystander would see. | |

Homestar Runner: In the Strong Bad Email "mini-golf", Strong Bad briefly speaks in reverse after returning from a trip to Sweet Puttin' Cakes, and remarks "My mouth tastes like... backwards." Taken literally immediately after with The Cheat, whose mouth apparently "tastes like blue" after drinking the "family recreation water". Which was a reference to an earlier cartoon where, after waking up on the couch one day, he mentions that his mouth tastes like email. This was also referenced in an opening to a Strong Bad Email DVD, where Strong Bad says, "My mouth tastes like DVDs." In fact, the website commonly refers to food and drinks that taste like the color they are shown as. |

Not Always Healthy: "NovoPAIN!" centers around a patient for a dental procedure whose doctor refuses to listen when they tell them that the normal dose of anesthesia isn't working, until the pain gets so great that their vision is filled with the color silver. They finally get the doctor to stop by biting down on his finger, then yelling that "PAIN IS F***ING SILVER!" | |
