Would you give up your sense of taste for the

Can I take people with me when I teleport, or just me? I would say yes. I'm an extremely picky eater and eat most stuff plain so I don't think I'd care.
I heard it on a podcast as almost a throw away line and agreed at first. But then tried to play the other side.
1. I'm a fatty, so maybe I wouldn't eat so poorly if every didn't taste. i'd be more apt to eat what I should as opposed to the terrible diet I ingest now.
2. I'm have zero qualms with stealing from someone who, for example, has crazy rich oil money and tortures and kills anyone who questions him. A lot could be done with that money. You could also have quite a lucrative, legitimate business, transporting people or things for them.
3. The ability to be in NY for an event and a moment later in Vegas (insert wherever you like) is quite appealing to me as well.

It wasn't specified but I have been working under the assumption of yes you can, so long as they are holding onto you. So you wouldn't be able to take your entire softball team with you but you and a couple of buddies could have a hell of a weekend.
No, I don't think I would. I would probably miss tasting too much and likely get myself killed pretty quickly with the ability to teleport. Giving up one of my 5 senses would be pretty tough. Now maybe if it was hearing... I would probably do it.
Oh without a doubt. That wouldn't even be a remotly hard decision for me.
Really? You'd give up hearing over taste? No music, no radio news, podcasts, lesser enjoyment of movies, and TV? The rest of your life in silence?
Does this mean you could get high without the munchies? I would teleport into Colombian drug barns, steal all the money and dope and teleport back to have the greatest tailgates Sally Mason ever dreamed of.
I'd venture a guess you'd still get the munchies, but it would be more difficult to satisfy them as you'd have no sense of salty or sweet. I do like your idea of of the columbian drug barn sponsored tailgate party
Does everybody who says yes get to teleport, or just me?
If just me, absolutely. If everyone, still probably. Would certainly miss taste, but I can make up for that with a lot of other senses, and do so in a, literal, fraction of the time.

Yeah. This isn't an offer to everyone, just asking everyone if they would if they had the opportunity. And no 'you got tricked' consequences like you lose a year of your life, or anything like that. You can transport, safely, to wherever you like.
Then absolutely. I'd be a superhero and wear outside-my-pants-undies, taste be damned. It'd be like a second superpower, eating whatever disgusting thing I wanted to impress people!
Yep. Not only would I be living a healthier lifestyle I would also be filthy rich with my new speedy delivery service.
