Taste buds are sensory organs that are found on your ** and allow you to experience tastes that are sweet, salty, sour, and bitter. How exactly do your taste buds work? Well, stick out your ** and look in the mirror.
The average person has about 10,000 taste buds and they're replaced every 2 weeks or so. But as a person ages, some of those taste cells don't get replaced. An older person may only have 5,000 working taste buds. That'* why certain foods may taste stronger to you than they do to adults. Smoking also can reduce the number of taste buds a person has.
