Your mouth...

People whose mouth has a narrow roof are more likely to snore.

85% of the population can curl their tongue into a tube.

When kissing someone, you gain around 256 colonies of bacteria from that person.

Close to 50% of the bacteria in your mouth lives on your tongue.

If your mouth was completely dry you would not be able to taste anything.

Taste is the weakest of the five senses.

If you're right handed, you tend to chew your food on the right side.

Same for lefties, they tend to chew on the left.

Humans have a unique tongue print, just like fingerprints.

There are about 9,000 taste buds on the surface of your tongue, in your throat, and on the roof of your mouth.

Taste buds contain chemoreceptors that respond to chemicals from food and other substances that are dissolved by saliva.

A person on average produces 10,000 gallons of saliva in their life time.

That works out to just under a half a gallon a day!

In general, girls have more taste buds than boys.

Average life of a taste bud is up to ten days.
