I began to consider this as my mouth filled with the flavor of pineapple as I remembered the flavor of a pineapple.

Do other senses suffer from the same issue?

    Olfactory aphantasia is the inability to imagine smells Phantosmia is detecting smells that aren’t there

    Similarly there’s gustatory aphantasia for taste and phantom taste perception

    Etc

        We probably don’t have a c/rimjobsteve yet, but would this qualify?

        It’s not exactly the same for me, but it’s pretty close. Sometimes it’s a little more faded. Just depends on what it is. Sound, on the other hand, I can picture that loud and clear.

        A phantom taste perception is actually a lingering bad taste in your mouth and actually caused by multiple things like schizophrenia, diabetes, bad dental hygiene, head injuries, certain cancers, medications, etc
