Today, we're puckering up with a tangy treat and indulging in a luxurious delicacy. National Sour Candy Day is the perfect occasion for those who love a mouthpuckering experience. Sour Candy has been the lighting tastebuds with its tangy tart flavors for decades. Did you know that Sour Candy gets its tang from acids like citric, tartaric and malic acid? These acids are naturally found in fruits and give sour candies their signature zing. So grab your favorite sour gummies or hard candies and enjoy the tangy burst of flavor. So is the sour candy, I mean, they kind of mix the sour and sweet together, right? I mean, that's kind of the experience. Yes, that's usually the experience. Unless it's just like a straight sour candy, like a lemon salt, like the lime salt. You know, I do like lemon drops, I never really thought about that before. I do really like lemon drops and it would be kind of a sour candy, right? Yeah, and then like they also have like the spicy candy. I'm just going to stay with the sweet stuff, all right? From tangy treats to high-end indulgence, it's also National Caviar Day. Caviar, the salted role of sturgeon, is considered a luxurious delicacy around the world. The most expensive caviar in the world comes from the rare albino sturgeon known as Almas Caviar and can cost up to $25,000 per kilogram. Traditionally served on bleeness or with toast points, caviar is often accompanied by champagne or vodka. It's a taste of luxury that's enjoyed by many. That caviar is a garnish. What about you? Do you enjoy caviar? Not enjoyed by me. How about you? I've tried it once or twice. This is a tough day for me, sour candy and caviar? What am I going to do? Well, I'm going to celebrate with sour candies. I already am celebrating with sour candy. You want some lemon drops? If I'm going to choose one of the two, I will go with sour candy as well. I just am not a fan of caviar, but for those of you who are, please go out and enjoy it. Eat more to make up from the lack of what I'm not going to consume. Well, I will join Johnson. Well, Anderson.
