This time the Saltine may have begun to taste slightly sweet. Why?
Because - Your spit contains chemicals that break down the cracker into sugars that your taste buds can sense!

Your intestines are about 26 feet long, the length of about three cars! Five feet is large intestine, where water is reabsorbed. The rest is small intestine, where nutrients are absorbed.
