the tongue is what you taste with but some plonker just made that up about the sweet tooth. Tongues are wonderful for doing many things..i like to taste things with it before i devour

You are asking me what my favourite sweet thing is, oh jasus everything

Chocolate eclairs

fresh fruit & cream with sponge

most types of chocolate, im not too keen on the dark choc though

Good Question Friend ------A 'sweet tooth' is a colloquial term to describe the common psychological condition in which subjects feel an unnaturally strong urge for foods which are sweet.

Taste is a form of direct chemoreception and is one of the traditional five senses. It refers to the ability to detect the flavor of substances such as food, certain minerals,

Perhaps it is for the sake of the children they do not what them to go around licking everybody but then on the other hand biting everyone would be twice as bad. Hmm I have no answer. Pie is my favorite Apple or blueberry yum the crust is the part I love the best and just a little of the fruit.

Good point Dizz~ though the taste buds are on the tongue, I guess it's because you use your teeth to eat the sweets. Too much sweet can rot those chompers.

Brownies-

Any kind of Chocolate is my weakness, I have had a sweet tooth forever though

Ya got me; the language abounds with inaccuracies.

Yes, taste buds line the inside of the mouth, including the tongue.

If it's sweet I pretty-much like it.

Who knows where these idioms arise? My favorite sweet treat? It's a toss-up between Reese's peanutbutter cups or buttered pecan ice cream.

Because they`re the ones that eventually rot from too much sweetness.

Good question, my weakness is Snickers and Snickers Ice Cream Bars. mmmmmmmm
