Spotted on a package of dried mangoes:
Taste and flavor: a winning combination!
As my daughter Rachel pointed out, the nouns taste and flavor do not have complete synonymy. We say that tap water has a bad taste, not a bad flavor. And ice cream comes in different flavors, not tastes. Safe to say though that the copywriter responsible for the above wasn't making such distinctions.
[Thanks for the photo, Rachel!]
