    I’ve seen this before, but I have to wonder: has anyone actually tested it? Like sure, you can imagine what licking asphalt would feel like, but have you ever just done it to make sure your imagination is right?

      Most definitely as a baby or toddler, yes you have. And if it was not asphalt it was similar stuff like walls and such.

      As soon as one has enough data and a brain developed enough one absolutely can tell the feel and taste of stuff even if not tested.

      Bonus points if your a parent. Toddlers WILL force stuff in your mouth and you WILL have the chance to test the theories.
