Woman with split tongue says she can taste Pepsi and Coca Cola simultaneously

A woman with a passion for body modification has opened up about her intriguing talent for tasting two different things at the exact same time, all thanks to her split tongue.

Dreadlock artist Brianna Mary Shihadeh recently left people mesmerised after tasting two soft drinks at once, placing half her tongue in each glass.

Whether you prefer Pepsi or Coco-Cola, few will ever have the sort of insight into which taste is actually better than Brianna.

After taking to TikTok with a video taken of the stunt, Brianna, who lives in Southern California, has managed to clock up 293,000 views, leaving followers fizzing with excitement.

Taking a few moments to consider her view on the Pepsi vs Coca-Cola debate, Brianna - perhaps controversially - confirmed that she 'couldn't taste the difference'.

Brianna - who goes by the username @flowerfriendly - also conducted a salty versus sweet taste test, dividing her unique tongue between one glass of sugar water and another containing saltwater.

Reflecting on this particular dizzying combo, Brianna remarked that her brain was left feeling rather confused.

TikTok users were left with their jaws on the floor after witnessing Brianna's rare talent in action, with some praising her videos as being "so satisfying".

One flabbergasted person commented: “I never even thought of that use! You’re awesome. I can't look away.”

Another approved: “This is the content I need. So many questions in this world and nobody is asking the right ones, until now.”

Others even put forward their own flavour mix requests, with a third begging: “Please for the love of everything holy do mouthwash and orange juice.”

Another suggested she try, "a can of sprite and a McDonald's sprite", adding that she would be "the only one that will 100% know if there is a difference between them."

Brianna, who sometimes goes by the name Flower, has numerous face and body tattoos, plus various piercings. She is understood to be currently crowd-funding for a Nevada-based art community with a focus on hippie/conscious art.
