Gather up a couple of friends and some sour foods, like limes or lemons! Give each of your friends a Sour Sample to try, and see how strongly everyone reacts to the taste!

Does everyone pucker up their lips? Do some people like the sour taste more than others?

Try tasting the sour foods on different parts of your tongue. Do you notice any difference in how strongly you detect the sour flavor??
