One time there were 15,001 taste buds altogether.

May the Lord be with you as He is with me.

So am I to assume pigs taste real good?

Humans have about 10,000 taste buds. Virtually all of these taste buds like ham and bacon.

I have a deep fryer for french fries, probably a gallon of Frites By Idaho and it’s free. I was going to throw it away!

Don’t bring that ‘perfume’ around me. I’m on a diet, and I don’t want that tempting me.

Mmmmmmmm, bacon!

All those taste buds and none work! Pigs will eat anything.

That’s an interesting factoid about pigs. The other two sound rather disgusting.

Is 15,000 taste buds a lot or very little in comparison to humans or other species? Again, these factoids are meaningless if not put in perspective.

That whole pig taste bud statistic is meaningless without context. Something like comparing it to humans who average 10,000 taste buds.

The name “citrus foam” sound unappetizing but the presentation is totally disgusting. "How much is it, now?

i hear people are knocking down the doors at that Italian restaurant…to get out

Catfish typically have more than 100,000 taste buds. Some large catfish can have as many as 175,000. That’s because this creature has taste buds not only in its mouth, but all over its body.

If you wanted to make me do a research how many taste buds people have, you got it. But why didn’t you include that next to the number of how many taste buds pigs have?

A while back, a bus company was testing biodiesel made from fat collected from kitchens of restaurants and cafeterias. The exhaust smelled like French fries.

Potato perfume—first cousin to Potato Vodka.Have no plans to taste or smell either
