    Just the tip. You don't have receptors in your colon.

      Ooh I get to be that guy!

      Acktachully, your entire digestive system is lined with taste buds! They aren’t hooked into your normal sensory awareness, so you don’t taste your own digestive juices the way you taste your mouth, but they are used for sensing things like spoiled food and spice! Those receptors can trigger ejection of material if it’s bad enough (diarrhea/vomiting, depending where in the tract it sensed bad stuff).

        I love this, thank you very much.

        It’s an interesting fact.

        Not taste, but I do feel when my dipshit stomach decides to flood itself with acid until I put something into it.

  I’m also going to raise my hand here to say I only enjoy mouth spiciness
