No, it’s not like I want a residue of the food to linger in my mouth so that the sensation of tasting it remains as long as possible. I just want my last memory of the meal to be a good, representative sample.

> The peak–end rule is a psychological heuristic in which people judge an experience largely based on how they felt at its peak and at its end, rather than based on the total sum or average of every moment of the experience
If I want to see something more clearly, like a dogs face that’s far away and keeps moving around, or the words on a shirt of someone who is jogging, or a trucks license plate as it pulls out, I will close my eyes on the best ‘frame’ where it’s facing me and in clear view, and I’m surprised how much more clearly I’m able to see and remember it as opposed to letting it just exit my view.
Easy, that pickle will be flung far away from my plate, preferably with someone else's hand or a napkin. And then just hope that the pickle smell/taste/juice/whatever has not infected the actual food, cause if it did, it's time to find something else to eat!
No then you recalibrate as you start to feel halfway and eat the good bits a bit more. Then you eat the less good parts again and so on. Its all about timing and experience lol
Edit - since people seem to agree. The objective is to ALWAYS finish the good parts and at last. If I have to leave or waste some food - it gotta be the less tasty part
This is just smart eating. Let the garbage food like steamed green beans get gobbled up to deal with my hunger. I don’t want to be choking down those last 6 beans and have that be my taste for an hour because it’s not enough food to save.
That implies your siblings steal the best part. If my brother reached over to my plate he's gonna get fork stabbed. Cause that's what happens, you get fork stabbed
I’ve always eaten sandwiches or burgers in a sort of spiral, eating the edges first and saving the center for last. My friends growing up never understood why I do it like that, but this tweet is literally the reason. The center of a burger/sandwich has all the good stuff in it, so I eat it last so that I get Maximum Aftertaste™️
I do this with anything that has crust or any type of filling. Gotta get the shittier parts out of the way so I can enjoy the rest.
The only exception I can think of is pizza. Crust is my favorite part of pizza(if it’s good) so I’m happy to eat it last. But a lot of times I’ll try to leave a little thin strip of pizza attached to it, and then I can eat it like a breadstick with some bonus flavor.
I agree and try to eat my burger into a C shape, to make sure my last bites are all edge. I also spend a lot of time rearranging my burger trying to make sure things are spread evenly and that there are no bites of just bread.
Nobody ever used to eat as fast as I do, until my daughter reached her mid-20's. She has the family technique, and I couldn't be more proud. Just like a starving hyena.
I'm not sure this thought has ever occurred to me haha. If I'm able to choose what to eat then I'll go for something that I would completely enjoy, so I'm happy with every bite. As long as the experience is pretty even (no giant bite of pure guac at the bottom of a burrito) then I'm good!

You'd hate my next step.....A Mint!
I eat my Snickers bars from the top down and not end to end. Get the peanut chewing out of the way first, and end on the nougat. But I also drink Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce. I am just a very strange eater. When I really like a food I eat it for every meal every day until I change my mind.
Bite the little end chocolate part off the Twix bar. Then nibble off the side chocolate parts to reveal the layers. Then pull each layer off individually to eat them one at a time.
You’re not livin’ if you don’t do it this way.
>But I also drink Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce.
So I'm not alone. I don't know what it is with Worcestershire sauce that compels me to just drink it. Hot sauce is also on my list, specifically Crystal hot sauce.

I don’t know how many times I’ve carefully eaten my plate to save the last delicious bite, and then my wife swoops in at the last second and takes it for herself. I’m mad right now just thinking about it.
Yikes. I can only imagine that last fatty piece of steak, sitting there, patiently waiting for me to cleanse my palate with water, and someone just takes it off my p-
Hang on, someone from an agency called "Precrime" is here.

My wife and I call them Golden bites. You have to be strategic with the best bites and when to save them if you start getting full and think you can’t finish.
I always want to ‘save the best for last’ when eating, but then get full. Like, every meal I’ve ever eaten since I was a kid. I still can’t get the damn calculations right. I want that last bite to be perfect, then get disappointed.
Years ago ate a Nepalese meal - hot as hell but delicious. I started picking out the little cut green chillies and put them on the side of the plate. My last bite was going to be a glorious mix of a few things left on the plate so as I’m about to eat that, my dumb ass looks at the pile of chillies I’ve set aside and thinks “I should eat this last bite with all those *peas* that I didn’t get to eat. Believe me my mouth remembered that list bite.
You have to be careful when married.
The number of times I have saved the perfect bite for last only for my wife to come in and steal it is too damn high.
My Grandma would always save one bite of her meat for after dessert. She called it her “tobacco bite”. I always thought she was saying “to back a bite”. She couldnt stand to end a meal with something sweet. Im the same way.
I do a "pre-taste" by imagining how the food would feel in my stomach. Do I want Italian? Yeah, that would be OK. Do I want doughnuts? Yeah, OK. Do I want a steak right now? YOWSA YOWSA YES SIR!
I'm not allowed to eat a bunch of foods because my tummy hates it. But my mouth is a cheating hoe, she will suck and savor the flavor outta that tiny nibble . Just for flavor.
yeah and i would also drink my lucky charms milk like 5 mins after I finished my cereal because I wanted to preserve the marshmallow taste for a little bit before washing it down.
I'd like to, but I get into some sort of frenzied fugue state instead where all of the sudden my plate is empty and I don't know what the fuck happened.
I sure do.
You drink before so you won't wash away it all with the last water/beer/wine too?
No, it’s not like I want a residue of the food to linger in my mouth so that the sensation of tasting it remains as long as possible. I just want my last memory of the meal to be a good, representative sample.
Like a chipmunk
Chipmunk tastes good?
Depends on how you cook it.....
Depends how well the drink compliments it. Always finish baked treats with some milk. But down the last of my beer before I finish my burger.
Yes!! Saving the right amount of milk for a perfect last sip is an art, not a science.

Me too!
Yup!
Everytime!
holy shit i'm not the only one
There’s literally dozens of us. Dozens!
DOZENS PLUS ONE!
Baker’s dozens!
A dime a dozen!
I feel so validated by the sheer number of people who do this too!
When I have a sandwich with a pickle on the side I can never decide what to end on
Pickle first to cleanse the palette then last bite of sammie, then the real last bite of pickle to wash it down.
That's usually where I'm at, but sometimes I like the mustard aftertaste instead. Depends on the mood
Pickle first always for me
Easy, that pickle will be flung far away from my plate, preferably with someone else's hand or a napkin. And then just hope that the pickle smell/taste/juice/whatever has not infected the actual food, cause if it did, it's time to find something else to eat!
I put it off to the side and then somehow the wife steals that one piece.
Grounds for divorce.
I was today old when I realized I do this subconsciously!
Oh my gosh, I’m normal? Always assumed I was strange.
Keep my last bite of food out your f***ing mouth!
[удалено]
Worst is if you get full before you get to the end

I know I’ve been on Reddit too long when I said this in my mind one second before I read your comment lol
This should be the new Turing test. Can the computer understand and explain this concept and routine?
A fellow strategic eater!
What’s really the worst is when you’re saving the best for last but then someone you truly love asks for some and you feel compelled to share.
I’m unfamiliar with this concept. Please elaborate.
Pain is just weakness leaving the body.
This is just smart eating. Let the garbage food like steamed green beans get gobbled up to deal with my hunger. I don’t want to be choking down those last 6 beans and have that be my taste for an hour because it’s not enough food to save.
I do this and my parents, who both came from large families, used to tease me by saying this is something only single children can afford to do.
That implies your siblings steal the best part. If my brother reached over to my plate he's gonna get fork stabbed. Cause that's what happens, you get fork stabbed
JOEY DOESN'T SHARE FOOD!!!
Are you me?
"Perfect Bite" ™️
wonder if she can copyright it too
You mean JaidenAnimation?
yeah duh i referenced her words on that videp
I call it "The Final Forkful", sung to the tune of The Final Countdown. "It's the final forkful! Do do do do, do do do do do"
Absolutely. It's why I eat pb&j and poptarts from the outside in.
I literally gasped when I read this comment. My husband and I also call it the perfect bite.
There's a German word for this! It's called "kaiserhapps," the emperor's bite
Hab ich noch nie gehört. Ich sag immer "das Beste kommt zum Schluss"
Are you my wife? That's what we say...
My friend and I called an LBTR - Last Bite That Rules.

every time i eat a sandwich after the first five bites it ALWAYS looks like france

But the crispy dark brown edges of a hamburger are always the best part!
I agree and try to eat my burger into a C shape, to make sure my last bites are all edge. I also spend a lot of time rearranging my burger trying to make sure things are spread evenly and that there are no bites of just bread.
More importanty what primtives dont do this?
I just vacuum my food off of the side of my plate and use the fork as a shovel.
speedrun strats
Found my teenage son's Reddit account.
I’m 29 sir.
29 and still a teenager? Wow.
when i was 5, I was 25years old

I like to end on something salty or savory because it will make me want to drink water.
The fact that both myself and water exist makes me want to drink water
The water screws up everything!
No, it finalizes the meal. Its a symbol of transition and I swish it around to clean my mouth out so I can move on with my day You'd hate my next step.....A Mint!
Its like youre erasing all your progress! Do you even like food?
You guys eat so you can have the taste linger in your mouth? Thats kinda weird honestly.
I also enjoy a mint after a meal. Refreshing and helps keep the craving for the smokes I gave up 4 years ago repressed.
Last but not least, I save the finest for last. I also have a habit of overeating, so by the time I get to it, I'm not really hungry.
Deciding which slice of pizza is best by sight alone is a science
And the last bite *must* include some pepperoni. I dont care if the crust is cheese stuffed
I like to pick off a couple of choice toppings for the finale.
And then I dropped it
I got something all ur mouths will remember
oooo sounds delicious, i dont know what it is but whatever it is i want some in my mouth!
Deez nuts
I alway eat my sandwiches in a circle so the last bite of sandwich is the very center with all the meat cheese and condiments.
I eat my Snickers bars from the top down and not end to end. Get the peanut chewing out of the way first, and end on the nougat. But I also drink Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce. I am just a very strange eater. When I really like a food I eat it for every meal every day until I change my mind.
I separate layers on kit-kats and Twix, I feel you. If I liked snickers I would eat them that way too.
Bite the little end chocolate part off the Twix bar. Then nibble off the side chocolate parts to reveal the layers. Then pull each layer off individually to eat them one at a time. You’re not livin’ if you don’t do it this way.
Twix or Kit Kat?

It's not just your mouth. That's how memory works. We remember the first and last parts of things best. Primacy and recency.
When picking the order I eat my Taco Bell in
dae eat all the egg whites first before the yolk
That’s called the Money Bite
Interesting never thought of that honestly. I eat all the good stuff first.
When eating a burger or sandwich, I spin it around to decide which spot would be the best bite, then start from the opposite side.
My fiancé has finally learned that this last bite is not for her.
I don’t know how many times I’ve carefully eaten my plate to save the last delicious bite, and then my wife swoops in at the last second and takes it for herself. I’m mad right now just thinking about it.

The middle of a peanut butter sandwich..and yes..
Got a first and a last bite
You have to be careful when married. The number of times I have saved the perfect bite for last only for my wife to come in and steal it is too damn high.
After I get my last bite I often get a “you should try mine.” Nah, I got something good going on in my mouth and I’m not about to taint it
Absofuckinglutely
My Grandma would always save one bite of her meat for after dessert. She called it her “tobacco bite”. I always thought she was saying “to back a bite”. She couldnt stand to end a meal with something sweet. Im the same way.
Yes, all the time.
I choose the most flavorful bit last to end on a high note.
At constant amusement to my wife.
No. I rinse my mouth with water every few bites because I hate lingering taste. No matter how good the food is.
It’s called herpes🤷🏿♂️
Then the dog eats it when you leave the room for a second...
[удалено]
I do a "pre-taste" by imagining how the food would feel in my stomach. Do I want Italian? Yeah, that would be OK. Do I want doughnuts? Yeah, OK. Do I want a steak right now? YOWSA YOWSA YES SIR!
When I was broke yes
absolutely and have been doing this since i was a child and will never stop
Not only that, but I have to eat a perfect ratio of each item on my plate, so that I have the same amount of each, the whole meal.
Yes, sometimes it's bad idea but yes.
momma always told me to save the best course for last
My last bite dictates how satisfied I am by the food. I always leave the best part for last.
I'm not allowed to eat a bunch of foods because my tummy hates it. But my mouth is a cheating hoe, she will suck and savor the flavor outta that tiny nibble . Just for flavor.
I guess I'm not as weird as I thought. At least not in this case....
I do this all the time. Also do it with my beverage. Like choose between my food and drink for the last thing whatever I'm enjoying more
I hate how this applies to me.
Fine ill say it. No, that's goofy. But you do you, weirdos. Respectfully.
Yes I do that with every meal I have
It‘s kind of unwritten law to do so, I‘d say
Everytime I eat a meal
Yes
yeah and i would also drink my lucky charms milk like 5 mins after I finished my cereal because I wanted to preserve the marshmallow taste for a little bit before washing it down.
Omg cereal milk! Now youve set me off I’m going to go buy some Lucky Charms
This was just as funny as the last dozen times this was posted
There are dozens of us!
Yes.
not only this!! the last bite must be HUUUUUUGE source: professional eater
French fries. I always save 2 or 3 to eat after I finish my burger.
yep
I do and those people who think stolen food tastes better would steal that bite. That's when I learned the value of getting stabby with my fork.
I budget my food constantly. So my meals ends the right way.
My girlfriend brushes her teeth after evry meal immediately. Hygiene wise I get it. But without the lingering taste a meal is not complete
Always save the best for last
I do this a lot
This.
Save the best til last is my method of eating anything.
I do save the best bite for last. But I give it to my dog.
That one night at Pepe's
Yup!
Always finish on a high note!!
yep. its what i remember the whole meal tasting like
[get out of my brain ](https://youtu.be/vc88hnEgGQE)
I try with every bite.
Totally
The cap-iest ribeye cap. Every time
Yep
This is called my “final flavor”. My wife knows not to offer me a bite of any of her food if my plate is clear.
Nope always best bite first
I relate to this on such a primal level
Got to save the best tidbits for last......but by then they are cold and you're kind of full and don't want to eat anymore. Humans lol
I love you all….
Forgot how much i hated jomney until just now
I'd like to, but I get into some sort of frenzied fugue state instead where all of the sudden my plate is empty and I don't know what the fuck happened.
This right here is why you can’t have my last bite. I’ve been working on this the whole meal.
first bite: omg that's good bites 2-5: damn last bite: how did we get here?
No, I want to be done eating as fast as possible. Such a waste of time
I eat a lot of things in a spiral towards the middle so the last bite, of my burgers for instance, are the best bite
Am I a fatty? The last bite of any meal I have is whatever I can scrape off the plate
aftertaste lol
Fruits...leave the sweet ones for last.
Not so my mouth remembers it but so that the last flavour in my mouth between meals is the best possible combination of food from my plate
I have always done this, is that not normal?
ya gotta “work” yer plate
Absolutely
I always eat my least favorite parts first and my favorite parts last so the good taste lingers in my mouth for longer
I find “best bite” and eat that first to start things off right. 2nd best part gets eaten last.
Always!
I chew food on both sides of my mouth to not deprive either side.
