jaschen306Because the taste buds are in the front of your tongue, not the back of your throat.
MHLoppyI assume you're joking, but for those who got taught that in school but haven't thought about it since, that thing is basically bs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tongue_map
It’s a deep throating joke.
I know that part is, but specifically the front of your tongue tasting sweet is the weird tongue map thing that somehow made it into the education system
The back lf your throat doesn’t have taste buds tho.
tetris11I also have a needless follow up statement to OP’s tongue map
