Eli5: Why do some snacks taste very good for the first few bites but then start to taste gross as you keep eating them?

182 views

I have this experience with some specific foods consistently. Fritos, certain Doritos flavors, certain generic candy. And I don’t have this with other foods that’s are similar. Is there a name for this or a reason?

Maybe the food flavour and texture is too uniform?

I know texture and flavour variance is very important in high level cuisine so that each bite is slightly different and keeps the eater interested in the dish.

Fritos and Doritos rely heavily on msg to make their initial impact. And too much msg gets boring after a while
