Taste buds. But I always think we have taste buds for 1. Sugary 2. Bitter 3. Sour. Then I can guess 10,000 taste buds.

Hillary thanks for your response. It ranges between 2000 and 10,000.

I’m going to say none of the above. According to Wikipedia the average person has 2000 to 8000 taste buds, but of course that may not be true!

Teresa, none of these is correct. It does vary and range between 2,000 to 10,000.
