Is my shampoo smelling like fruit or is my fruit tasting like shampoo?
I do know that it is the first one but still, my shampoo smells really appetising and just like the real thing...but every time I eat a really tasty/ aromatic fruit, my brain goes like "that tastes like my shampoo/ shower gel!"

Fruit evolved to mimic the smell of shampoo so people would rub it in their hair, helping spread the seeds.
The scalp bird takes advantage of this by nesting in people's hair and consuming the fruit. This causes another symbiotic relationship as it spreads the fruit seeds.
This is the easiest chicken or egg riddle ever.
Sadly, yes. Also, chocolate scented shampoo (whyyy did I even buy this, I really don't like smelling like chocolate - must have been hungry whilst shopping...)also doesn't taste like chocolate...
I appreciate your commitment to thorough scientific research.

Why does 'sweet Thai chili' sauce in most restaurants taste like dishwater?
Probably cilantro.
I love cilantro. It doesn't taste soapy to me.
When lavender infused foods got trendy twenty years ago, the first time I tried some lavender pound cake I spit it out because it tasted like soap. But I kept trying it, lavender tea, white chocolate, cakes, cookies, coffee. Eventually, lavender soap started to smell like tasty treats.
This is the truest shower thought I've ever seen
Why doesnt shampoo taste like it smells though?
Basically everything else in the world does.
Can't help but think of this:
