Imagine a material like those Listerine strips, about 50 of them stacked on top of each other, each with a different flavor. Perhaps a truffle sized ball with 256 squares, each tiny square containing a different candy flavor. I wonder what that would taste like. Imagine a single candy which fused hundreds of different tastes like Skittles, M&M's, Mints, Jellybeans, Sour Candy, Licorice, Lollipops, Lemon drops, Taffy, Cinnamon, Candy Corn, Gummy Bears, Reeses, Jolly Ranchers, Swedish Fish, Sour Apple Rings, Starburst all compressed into a single bite.

256bit Candy

You gotta upgrade dat candy man.
Candy don't come in less than 768MB now. 256?
It would taste 'brown'. If you mix all the colors of paint together you don't get white. You get brown. If you play all frequencies of audible sound at once you do not get a symphony, or even anything at all. You get noise.
Beauty does not come from undifferentiated totality. Beauty is the selective arrangement fo elements toward desirable effects. Not in just mashing every fucking thing together.
Joe, I often times listen to symphony, nature sounds, ambient, and ambient music on a couple media players and my ears seem to not get bored or overwhelmed as you might expect. There is certain beauty to be found in maximalism, and I am searching for it. Until such a candy exists, it would be hard to empirically declare how the tongue will react. Tho I could be wrong.
