How to use "Gobble up" in context?
There's an old folk saying that goes something like this: "to gobble up means to eat a lot." And it's true! When you gobble up something, you gobble it up completely and completely enjoy it. You may even have a bit of a smirk on your face as you swallow. There's something about gobbling up something that just feels...satisfying.
On a physiological level, gobbling up has something to do with the release of oxytocin. Oxytocin is a hormone that is often associated with feelings of pleasure and happiness.
