Why do you suppose sour candies are so popular these days? It wasn't a market when I was a kid. (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Given acidity is one of the 5 basic characteristics of wine, I suspect people, even adults, have been enjoying sour flavors for a few thousand years. Also, preserves have tended to be sweet, salty, or, you guessed it, sour for a long time, as well. They only thing that has really changed is our delivery vehicle for sour snacks.
