So, I was thinking about spicy food and how it affects our bodies. Which led me to think, "are there taste receptors in our butts?", since things are spicy both going in and coming out.
Well, I was wrong. But I wasn't wrong *enough*
Spicy food works on pain receptors, but there's apparently taste receptors in our colons that our bodies use to detect things that need to be flushed out quickly.
