And so it is we all know that your taste buds are on your tongue but, is it scientifically known that you can't taste unless you touch the roof of your mouth with your tongue while eating?

I've tested a few people and most of them agreed but others were sceptical but couldn't say to the contrary.
So, try it and tell me if you can taste without touching the roof of your mouth with your tongue. I've even tried pushing the food against my tongue to see if it was just the lack of pressure when I didn't push my tongue against the roof of my mouth.

Try it.

I do. I had some chocolate ice cream the other day, and could definitely taste it before putting my tongue back in my mouth.

But, do you taste it before you're tongue returns to your oral orifice?

No doubt hanging himself from a door with a belt didn't do much for the other 20%.

Anyway - lollipops.

How is it that you can taste a lollipop when you lick it, without touching the roof of your mouth with your toungue? :-)
