Why do we have to actually ingest food to enjoy it?

504 views

The other day I was eating some junk food and wishing there was a way I could just enjoy the taste of the food instead of it actually going into my body.

But if you were to just chew it then spit it out, it would be extremely unsatisfying and probably worse then just not putting it in your mouth at all.

Somewhat related, this leads a good technique for drinking sugary drinks. A cup of fruit punch lasts way longer if you just hold a sip in your mouth for a while before swallowing. You still enjoy the flavor while drinking way less.
