Why does bite size taste better? For example...?

Question

String cheese tastes better than cutting pieces of block cheese, bite size candies taste better than the actual candy bar (like Twix), even the Whopper Jr. tastes better than the Whopper (in my opinion). Why is that? And is it like that for you?

Answer 1

You may eat & savor the flavor the taste more slowly.  If you eat slowly, your tastebuds have more of a chance to be stimulated by more parts of the food.

I find eating slower & chewing more does it for me.
