Priceless Reactions: Babies and Their First Taste of Lemons

In an amusing video making the rounds on Reddit titled "Priceless reactions from some little sour-p****s," viewers are treated to a series of adorable and zany moments as babies experience the taste of lemons for the first time. The video captures a range of reactions from wide-eyed surprise to scrunched-up faces, leaving viewers in stitches.

Throughout the short clip, the babies' reactions are priceless. From the shocked exclamations of "Oh my god. Woah. No! Oh no. Woah! Wait." to the visible puckering of tiny faces, it's a delightful display of innocence encountering the unexpected.

Why do we shake when we eat something sour? According to one viewer, it’s most likely not learned behavior since the babies are trying lemons for the first time. The innate reaction to sourness is fascinating to witness and brings forth a wave of nostalgia and shared experiences in the comments section.

One user shared their own experience, “You see, I thought I’d get a funny reaction like this giving a lemon/lime to my kids for the first time, but they didn’t react at all and actually liked it and wanted more. Now we can’t get margaritas at a restaurant without the kids wanting the lime wedges.”

Another parent reminisced, “I remember my son wanting to try a lemon as a baby. He tried it, and got the expected reaction. Then he tried it again, just to make sure it wasn’t a fluke, got the same reaction, then got rid of it.”

The appeal of giving babies lemons continues to be a popular trend among parents. As one commenter noted, “We know it cute, we know they will pucker, we know they will hate it, yet we will always enjoy giving babies lemons 🍋.”

Humorously, one person commented, “Baby’s first tequila shot,” while another shared a wild memory, “My nephew ate an entire lemon like an orange, wildest thing I've seen in ages.” The video even sparked memories of a particular baby who screamed, prompting laughter and emojis from viewers.

Interestingly, some babies develop a taste for sour fruits and continue to enjoy them as they grow. One user mentioned, “My daughter loved them as a baby, still does at 8. She’ll eat lemon slices if I’m cooking something with lemon. I always have to buy extra.”

The video has even inspired a Reddit community, r/toddlerseatinglemons, where parents can share similar experiences and reactions. As one viewer aptly put it, “Giving them a kick start to those taste buds.”

Overall, the video showcases how simultaneously similar and different all the babies' reactions are, capturing the endless amusement and joy that comes from such simple, everyday moments. And as one comment sums it up, “And they always come back for more :P.”

For anyone curious about the innate reactions to sourness or simply in need of a good laugh, this video is a must-watch. The timeless charm of babies encountering new tastes is sure to brighten anyone's day.
