How come just keeping food/drinks in our mouth isn’t satisfactory enjoyment wise?

552 views

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.

I have thought of this before and explained myself that the strongest (best) taste buds are towards the back of your tongue, almost where your throat starts. That’s why we are most satisfied when the food/drink is almost making its way out of your mouth when we swallow it.
