Why does eating something sweet after eating another sweet thing make it taste less sweet?
In: Biology
Think of your tastebuds like a pile of kindling and sweetness as fire, the first wave of sugar is a quick burn through the kindling that you pat down as you consume said item, second fire through starts easier, but technically, its a weaker fire because the smallest pieces already flared up and burnt to a crisp. It’s just a duller chemical reaction as it consumes the rest of the kindling.
