Why cant people eat 6 saltines crackers in a minute without wanting water?

Question

i really need this. i need the chemistry look at this question

Answer 1

I dont see the problem... I can eat like a whole pack without like needing a drink...

Answer 2

It's not even the salt. Even without salt, the crackers are just really absorbent. They will mop up all the saliva in your mouth, and you can't swallow without it.

Answer 3

because they r salty. salt dries things out. which means if you eat 6 SALTines in a minute your mouth and throat become dry. also thats alot of saltines to eat in a minute they probably want water to wash it down since saltines are also dry

Answer 4

hahahah lol ^_^ i juist tried it "im like, oh thats easy!" and then when i did it the saltines expand like sponges in your mouth and i could barely eat 2 1/2

Answer 5

Saltines contain quite a bit of salt and absorbs saliva from human mouth. Saliva aids in digestion and drinking water can help saliva secretion.
