So today I was reading a bit of Useless Knowledge, and it says that humans can't taste water. We taste the minerals and impurities. Dogs, pigs, and other animals can taste the actual water.
And this got me to wondering....
How in the hell do they know what animals can or can't taste? Chuck says, "Well, they probably study the taste buds." That makes sense, to a point. Think of this: We have taste buds in the middle of our tongue that taste absolutely nothing. How do they know what taste buds taste, or if they even taste at all?
I guess I just haven't had this conversation with any dogs or pigs lately.
