Science has shown that we all have a different number of taste buds on our tongues. The amount you have puts you into one of these three groups: non-tasters, who, on average, have five taste buds in a surface area the size of a paper hole punch; supertasters, who have about 30; and medium tasters, who fall in between. The non-tasters need a lot of sugar to taste sweetness; supertasters are satisfied with just a tiny bit. This is why a piece of dark chocolate cake the waitress recommends may seem way too rich to you.
