No there is no selective pressure that confers an advantage to those who do taste it.

<h3>What is PTC?</h3>

Despite the fact that PTC isn't found in nature, tasting other bitter substances—many of which are toxins—that do occur naturally has a high correlation with taste sensitivity.

In order to defend themselves from being eaten, plants develop a range of harmful substances. Early humans developed the capacity to distinguish bitter tastes as a safeguard against ingesting dangerous plants. There are roughly 30 genes in humans that produce bitter taste receptors. People may taste a large variety of bitter substances because each receptor can interact with a number of different molecules.

What heats up the fastest (in order) wet sand, rock, water, dry sand
dedylja [7]
The specific heat capacity represents the amount of energy, in joules, that it takes to raise the temperature of one gram of a given substance by one degree Celsius. Put more simply, the amount of energy it takes to raise a quantity of water by one degree Celsius would raise an equivalent quantity of sand by a little over 14 degrees. Likewise, sand does not need to lose nearly as much energy as water to produce equivalent cooling. Since it "holds" a lot less energy, it cools down much faster than sand.
Indeed, liquid water has an unusually high specific heat capacity. Because it is much less prone to temperature swings than other common substances, large bodies of water often work to moderate temperatures in a region. This helps to explain, for example, why average temperatures fluctuate very little over the year in San Francisco, a city whose climate is heavily influenced by the water that nearly surrounds it.
