Burgers are one of America’s favorite foods, and for good reason: Biting into the perfect one is like a flavor bomb for your mouth. Pair that with crispy fries and you’ve got a winning combination. On last night’s Burger Games episode of Hungry Games, host Richard Blais revealed some pretty interesting facts and figures about American’s preferences when it comes to the ground beef patties. One of the most interesting facts was that it isn’t actual juiciness that makes a burger seem juicy — it’s your mouth’s reaction upon biting into one. Who knew something as simple as a burger could be so complex?
