Chomp Station

All aboard. Please chew before departure.

The tourPoke around

Tour the set

Press the numbers and see what’s what.

Chomp Station: inside a giant mouth built like a railway station. Big white teeth arch overhead, rainbow rings lead down a pink tongue platform to railway tracks and a sunburst tunnel, and a bench, toast, crackers and a little pickaxe wait to one side.

Your guide to Chomp Station

Every ride down the gut starts here. Teeth cut and grind food into small pieces, which gives the enzymes further down more surface to work on. Saliva wets it, and the amylase in saliva gets to work on starch straight away.

The tongue shapes it all into a soft ball called a bolus and pushes it to the back of the throat. Then a reflex takes over, a flap called the epiglottis covers the windpipe, and the bolus is off down The Waterslide.

Far-out fact

Digestion starts before you swallow. Saliva carries amylase, which starts chipping starch while you chew.

That’s why bread tastes sweeter the longer you chew it.

Locals and staff

The mouth has its own crowd of microbes, hundreds of kinds. Sal runs the platform: L. salivarius was first found in saliva. The rest of the cast only passes through.
