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

546 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.

Do you not think the most enjoyable feeling is the one when you see your food and just before you eat it?

That’s when your brain is temporarily flooded with dopamine I believe. A “happy” chemical.
