I assume you're joking, but for those who got taught that in school but haven't thought about it since, that thing is basically bs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tongue_map
It's a deep throating joke.
I know that part is, but specifically the front of your tongue tasting sweet is the weird tongue map thing that somehow made it into the education system
The back lf your throat doesn't have taste buds tho.
BAGEL NOOO!!!
