You can’t taste anything without saliva present, saliva is a lysing agent meaning that it breaks stuff down, and when you expectorate saliva it becomes spit!
Saliva is also a moderately-tolerable to possibly-awful band. Spit on them as you will.
Saliva breaks down more substances than you might think. Saliva will someday breakdown Heidi and Spencer, and make them dissolve for their transgressions against humanity. A fitting end to people who aren’t worth spit, dissolving in it.
