There are many poisons that you can taste a tiny bit of but not ingest. You taste it, and if it's bitter you spit it out.
Those who think that poison tastes great are more likely to die and not pass on their genes to the next generation. Those who think that poison tastes bad are much more likely to pass on their genes to the next generation.
