She asked that I please add, the thought came to her after tasting a new sunflower, sesame seed and almond bar. She did not like it in the least!

For something to make you laugh it is usually caused by something you see with your eyes, or hear with your ears. Our visual and audio senses take in alot of info and then we start creating memories. Your taste sense only works when you put something in your mouth. Your visual senses first saw it. Constant input, basis building of of life.
And when you're sleeping, your audio (ears) are always working. People wake-up to noises, like an alarm clock.
Your taste sense does'nt gather as much references to know whether something is funny. But, if it tastes funny, it may not be, because taste has no humor.

For the same reason that the man who invests all your money called a broker ...
or croûtons come in airtight packages although they are just stale bread to begin with ...
or a person who plays the piano called a pianist, but a person who drives a race car not called a racist ...
or a wise man and a wise guy are opposites ...
or overlook and oversee mean opposite things ...
horrific means to make horrible but terrific means to make terrible ...
or 11 isn't pronounced onety one
or since lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked, doesn't it follow that electricians can be delighted, musicians denoted, cowboys deranged, models deposed, tree surgeons debarked and dry cleaners depressed ...
or ... do Roman paramedics refer to IV's as "4's" ...
or if someone tells you that there are 1 billion stars in the universe you will believe them, but if they tell you a wall has wet paint you will have to touch it to be sure?
(The last is my favorite, and is my signature line on all of my email!)

Because the laughter is reserved for those who see what you do when you taste something funny.
There's only so much laughter to go around and you used it all up on tasting something funny.

For the same reason a play on words is a fallacy and not an argument.

Because they're using the word funny to act as the word strange. I agree with her, it's not funny when you hit your funny bone either.

Depending on how gross it is I will laugh. I will also take it around and have everyone take a taste "Try this, it's disgusting!"

Maybe taste weird would be the correct phrase.

when speaking of food, tasting funny is not a good thing, meaning it is possibly gone bad.
"taste this milk..does it taste funny to you?"
