Granted. You've now learned you're a bastard child of Donald Trump.

(a) that's redundant
(b) it's a consequence I'm willing to accept
Granted. They're into it.
Congratulations, OP, you made them happier.
This one's free. You get another go.
Since it's genetic, this condition emerges in countless others who are not connected to the Trump family
It's too late, someone already got their wish millennia ago. You just can't actually taste with them. https://askabiologist.asu.edu/taste-outside-mouth
Taste buds, not just taste receptors.
I think a similar issue might still apply if they're not connected properly to the taste processing centre in the brain. In fact, it might increase absorption in the gut with the extra surface area. So maybe they'd be able to pull more nutrition from their diet but end up a little more constipated.
Wish granted, but as a monkey's paw the easiest way for me to grant this wish is to simply make it the case for all humans.
There's a song for this, but it has a different vibe than you would think!
The man puts ketchup on his steak and lives off of McDonald's. He has no taste as it is lol
Wish granted, but the same thing happens to the poorest people in the country.
