Do you know that your tongue couldn’t tell the difference between salt and sugar if it doesn’t touch the roof of your mouth?

Try opening your mouth, put sugar and salt on your tongue and see.
Maybe not only sugar and salt but other food as well.

<<<Oh good grief. Look who’s running to get salt and sugar….
I may have asked this years ago. Feeling some deja vuish here.
I will try this with the Jelly I’m meeting tonight! :)
Ha ha….I do enjoy noticing this little numerical coincidences with our lurve as well. : )
I have one as we speak…I’m 26!
I would take a pic when mine’s 22222.
So, what does that mean for denture wearers?
Nothing @Patty_Melt. They still have their taste receptors.
I tried an experience on @snowberry when we got together for dinner in town. I couldn’t tell the difference when it just sat on my tongue, but she could.
That’s true, and I don’t have that great of a sense of taste, either!
So then, it is not the roof of your mouth, but anything pressed against the tongue, a spoon, lollipop, other tongue?
It was not a strong sugar taste- but enough of one that I could tell it was sweet. I figure to do that, I had at least one sugar tastebud where it shouldn’t have been.
