Pretty much all the things I'd call above a 5 are candies that are specifically engineered and marketed to be extreme sour. I'm not convinced anything will ever be too sour for me until it's a 0 on the pH scale.
Ah! So probably the people who have not encountered those candies are the ones giving lemons the high numbers. 🍋 Do you have a favorite mega-sour candy?
The problem with pretty much all sour candies is they're only sour on the outside layer. After few seconds, the sour coating wears away and you just have a regular vaguely sour candy. I have yet to find one that doesn't have this problem. Please send me some if you find any. 😉
Lemons are truly one of the least sour things to me that still counts as sour. Like I recognize that people consider them sour, but they are just barely registering on my sour scale.
Ha ha ha ha! I took like 15 minutes to hit send on that comment because I was like, well it is the iconic sour but are we discussing personal pallet or the recognized classic sour that the lemon brings. There are other sours out there, true, but are we discussing nuances or acknowledging the lemon?
