Why is that when I have tea, coffee or hot chocolate and also eat something sweet like a chocolate or donut, just after taking a bite I’ll sip my beverage and it will be bitter as hell. Why do taste buds do such a thing?
In: Biology
Something like a donut or chocolate is so sweet, that it overwhelms the taste receptors for sweet, causing your brain to “dial down” their sensitivity, making the beverage taste much less sweet in comparison. It’s like looking into a bright light for a second and being blinded for a little while afterwards.
