Hello, it’s me. One in eight grown-ups love extreme tartness

For most people, biting into a lemon would leave them puckered up and desperate to lose that sour flavor, but a new study revealed that roughly one in eight adults like intensely sour sensations.

I’ve always loved a tart taste; if there’s a lemon or sour flavour to choose from I’ll go no further. Citrus drinks and strong cheeses are my favourite.

My nephew goes one further and eats lemons like they are oranges. No scurvy for him.
