Garlic lovers rejoice! There's now another way you can enjoy the pungent food. If you rub a clove of garlic on the bottom of your bare foot, you'll be able to taste garlic in your mouth. It's all thanks to allicin, the chemical responsible for garlic's unique smell. It can be absorbed through your skin, pass through your bloodstream, and end up in your mouth and nose, making you 'taste' the garlic even though it never went in your mouth.
