I hadn't considered that some people might not have experienced this, but calcium definitely has a flavor, and as somebody mentioned, it is definitely bitter and chalky.

I had super messed up teeth as a kid, so I had a lot of braces work and teeth reconfiguring, which included sanding down the edges of two of my front teeth, which definitely resulted in a terrible, terrible, awful, no good bitter and chalky taste.

Also, metallic depends! If it's "tin foil touching a tooth filling" taste, then I could see that being a "touch" sense, because you really don't quite taste it, but it's there.

But, I was a fucked up kid and I had this skeleton key that I used to put in my mouth because I liked the taste. Like, every day, for a very long time.

I don't know why my parents didn't stop me.

After a youth wasted playing lazer-tag, I can tell you that carbon dioxide definitely has a taste/smell. At least, dry ice does.

Calcium definitely has a taste. I think I remember my husband telling me that the water in Italy had a high calcium content. It was definitely odd tasting when I drank it (but I also had the flu so my sense of taste was off to begin with).
