The taste bud thing is even worse. There are zones of buds which specialize in certain tastes, but they are scattered around the whole tongue. The brain know their pattern and recognize them as you are tasting something.
Thought Emporium made a video about faking taste and between 5-11 he explains in depth.
I used to touch things like salty stuff to different parts of my tongue and get confused about why I could taste them everywhere and wondered if there was something wrong with my tongue.
I remember that one! What about how people thought we could only taste certain flavors with specific parts of our tongues.
That one really confused me as a kid

Don’t get me started on the 5% of our brains thing. Utter bullshit. There’s no way I’m reaching even close to that number.
Thanks for the giggle :)
