Best Answer

Vomit happens because our stomach contracts (squeezes) itself. The opening towards the intestine is closed shut so the food comes up towards the oesophagus (the pipe from the mouth to the stomach).

The funny taste in the mouth after vomitting is because of the stomach acids which are so strong that it slightly burns our throat and oesophagus.

If we eat something undesirable, the body automatically switches ON the vomitting reaction thus cleans our body.

It may also be caused if something gets stuck in our throat or if an undesirable object enters our lungs etc.
