How many taste buds are on your tongue?

Those tiny hairs send messages to the brain about how something tastes, so you know if it's sweet, sour, bitter, or salty. The average person has about 10,000 taste buds and they're replaced every 2 weeks or so.

These are specific areas for different tastes. All the taste buds of sweet or sour have same taste according to their area
