** Sarah eats a meal prepared by Liam, but can't taste anything. She thinks she's lost her sense of taste and lapses into OcularGushers, but it turns out that her sense of taste is perfectly fine. Liam's food is just ''that'' bland.
* '''Zig Zagged''': Sarah is sad when her friends have delicious meals, but also enjoys the advantages that come with her condition: no longer hating the taste of {{Stock Yuck}}s, not having to worry about the taste of ForeignQueasine, immunity to BlazingInfernoHellfireSauce pranks...

* '''Enforced''': A subplot about Sarah losing her sense of taste is only added so that she can be shown to be overjoyed when she regains the sense and [[ProductPlacement enjoys a McDonald's meal]].

* '''Implied''': Sarah is always unhappy while eating. No explicit reason is given, but an astute viewer will notice several {{Funny Background Event}}s in which she consumes awful-tasting stuff like BlazingInfernoHellfireSauce without having any reaction to it.
