why does eating sweet things before drinking sweet drinks make them less sweet? 💀
In: 0
Sensory acclimatization. Just as day looks too bright if you’ve been in a dark room all day, yet it does not when you were in an already bright environment. Your tongue/brain tunes down sweet sensation when you eat something very sweet, and the drink is less sweet than the food, making you experience it as less sweet than if your mouth was more at rest.
