Sour Candy Day
Sour Candy Day
Get your pucker ready for Sour Candy Day! Today, we celebrate all things tart, tangy, and tooth-achingly sour. But did you know that some of the most sour candies were inspired by mythical creatures known for their bad moods?
Take, for instance, the Lemon Drop. Legend has it that these candies were first created to capture the sour pucker of the Jabberwocky, a monstrous creature from Lewis Carroll's poem "Jabberwocky."Â The Jabberwocky was known for its fierce temper and its sharp, acidic bite.
So, the next time you pop a lemon drop in your mouth, remember that you're not just enjoying a sour treat, you're also experiencing a taste of myth and legend!
