   what if we marketed these as the taste equivalent of noise-cancelling headphones

     inspired partly by watching a cook mention adding salt during cooking if desired - but how do you know you want to add salt till after you taste the finished product? What if we just fixed this at mouth time?

     Innovative and terrible product idea:

     A mouth implant that automatically senses food/drink intake and releases flavors to optimize for your palate; it learns from your saliva production

     Never again have to manually add salt to your food or sugar to your coffee, possibly in front of other people

     Sensory sovereignty

     Flavor cartridges are a subscription service; dentists sell/install/maintain, like Invisalign

     We start off with sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami; version 2 includes capsaicin
