Most of us are fortunate enough to not just eat/drink for survival, but also for enjoyment. We taste food and beverages the moment they enter our mouths, and we can taste/chew/feel texture/etc.. but still we dont quite feel satisfied until we actually swallow.
For example: no matter how much you enjoy your favorite drink, you cant just take one sip and keep it in your mouth forever.
