A woman can "taste words" due to a neurological condition - and says her boyfriend's name tastes like "paper".<br /><br />Sarah Gann, 30, grew up associating words with certain tastes - but assumed everyone else did too.<br /><br />It turned out she has synesthesia, a neurological condition where the stimulation of one sense - in Sarah's case, sound leads to the stimulation of another - taste.<br /><br />The mum-of-two doesn't associate a taste with every single word, but does taste lots of common ones.<br /><br />Sarah says the word 'teacher' tastes like purple tropical Skittles, and the word 'think' tastes like chocolate milk.<br /><br />'Church' tastes like powdered donuts and 'ball' tastes like nacho cheese.<br /><br />Her own name doesn't have a flavour, but her partner Jakob Clayton, 27, tastes like paper, she says.
