You realize the "taste area" model of the tongue is bullshit, yes?
>>7720096
i don't know anything about tongues or taste

Well that much was apparent from your initial post you fucking fuck-wit.

I'm talking about the one you see in school books. It's still a persistent myth that different areas of the tongue have different jobs (one part is for saltiness, the other for sweetness etc.). It's the taste receptors that define a taste. Similarly, spicyness was believed to be a genuine taste but it's vanilloid receptors rather than taste receptors that detect spicyness, which means it's a form of pain and not taste.

just because i don't know anything doesn't mean i can't have an opinion
>>7720110
does that mean vanilla is also a form of pain?
but yeah anyone who's ever gotten hot sauce in their eyes or on their junk knows it's a form of pain.
