Hope this helps. **Q: Where are the instructions? Is there an order to tasting the strips? Please help.** A: There should be a QR code and a link on the label of the bag that you can go to in order to download the instructions for free. You can also view them anytime here: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61QHksUYgkL.pdf Let me know if there is anything else we can help you with! -Scott **Q: Shelf life--What is the average time I can expect to use these before they expire? It could take two or more years to use them up** A: This product does not have an expiry date on it. Over time it will lose potency, similar to spices in your kitchen. But many of our customers use these strips well over two years after ordering them and they continue to be useful in determining if someone is a supertaster. Please let me know if there is anything else we can help with! -Scott **Q: Looks like people are doing this for fun. Is this a serious test? We have big problems getting my son to eat and try new foods. Looking for help.** A: It can be used for either. I teach a nutrition course, so the students try it mostly for fun, but I have found, anecdotally, that many of the self-proclaimed "picky eaters" do test positive as a super taster. There are 4 different strips, one of which is a control. You just touch the strips to your tongue, and depending on the # of taste buds, you will (or won't) taste anything. Super tasters do tend to eat less veg because what is slightly bitter to most is overwhelmingly for them. Kids by nature don't like new flavors, so often small bites, presented frequently will help. Good luck! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ As per description. *by C***K on 31 October 2020* As expected ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun *by D***S on 20 January 2026* This was fun to do with my family. It was interesting seeing how everyone tastes differently. There are a lot of strips and now that we’ve tried it I have a bunch left over so not sure why you would need so many. It was worth the money for the fun of it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Does exactly what it says *by J***H on 16 December 2024* There isn't a huge amount to say about this beyond the fact that it does what it says! It provides a short but fascinating activity to determine if you (and/or your friends and family) have the ability to taste themselves chemicals. You get loads of test strips, so you can share the experience with others. The best part about this product is the vindication you get after a lifetime of people not believing you when you tell them that certain foods and drinks have a horribly bitter taste to them. ## Frequently Bought Together - Bartovation Super Taster Test Genetics Lab Kit with Instructions, Phenylthiourea (PTC), Sodium Benzoate [Each Vial Includes 100 Paper Strips] - EISCO Super Taster Test Kit - PTC Paper Strips with Biodegradable Box & Instructions - Lab Quality - Classroom Pack - PTC Paper, Sodium Benzoate, Thiourea, and Control (No Chemical), 100 Strips Each - Precision Laboratories PTC Paper Taste Test Strips for Super Taster Test - Vial of 100 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/256896698-super-taster-test-genetics-lab-kit-with-instructions-phenylthiourea-ptc](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/256896698-super-taster-test-genetics-lab-kit-with-instructions-phenylthiourea-ptc) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-09-24*
