Sugar, salt, fat. Perfectly balancing the three of those in their recipies is something every major fast food chain has spent millions of dollars perfecting. If you balance all 3 well, almost everyone finds it tasty.

But then if they add 10% too much salt the illusion comes crashing down- my God, I'm eating a salt lick.

I had a friend in college who would literally lick salt cubes rather than eat candy. He said it tasted way better

No, I'm pretty sure not. He was kind of an alcoholic though
