Why does mint make your mouth feel like it's full of ice even though it doesn't change the temperature in your mouth?
In this episode, host David Boldeman sits down with science journalist Ellen Phiddian to unpack the strange sensory science hiding behind everyday flavors. They dig into the trigeminal nerve, the hidden receptors that mix up heat, cold, and pain, and why your tongue is doing a lot more than just tasting.
And you'll get the answers to a whole lot more:
- Why does wasabi shoot up your nose?
- Why are fizzy drinks not really about the bubbles?
- Why do garlic and mustard have a spicy kick?
- Can you build up a tolerance to chilli?
