I tried this test with Lays potato chips. I learned nothing about my tolerance to carbs but I did confirm my love for Lays potato chips.11

By chewing a salt less cracker
0 to 14 seconds until taste change: carb tolerant
15 to 30 seconds until taste change:Moderate carb intolerance
More than 30 seconds until taste change:high carb intolerance
When one of my FB friends posted this, my assumption was that the taste never changes for anyone, and that will mean we're all highly carb intolerant, so will need to buy whatever it is they're selling this time.
Just a guess, though.6 -

As long as the crust was made of crackers, I think you've got it <nods>4 -

This may be a stupid question, but aren't raw potatoes supposed to be poisonous? Perhaps it was just a rumor started by Big Cracker to keep us from testing carb intolerance with potato.
I think there is a toxin that they contain...but you'd have to eat A LOT of raw potatoes before it would affect you. I think the toxin is more concentrated in a green or sprouting potato, which is why you're supposed to cut out the "eyes".
It's not just toxins, they're just not very digestible and can upset your innards.
Personally I prefer to eat potatoes within well established parameters. I love them, but they're from a difficult family and have some issues.
I ate a whole order of beer-battered steak-cut french fries the other day, with about half a cup of catsup.
Is that "within established parameters"?

Those parameters aren't only established, they're preferred.4 -

I'm honestly not sure what it is. It was on a hotel buffet and I asked a waitress what it was. That's what she said. It was sort of vanilla and toffee. It did taste popcornish but the popcorn was not visible.
ETA I suspect in my case the popcorn was hidden in the base.0 -
