Baby's First Taste of Sour

GiggleSugar — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 11:00:00 -0700

These vids of babies tasting lemons never get old. You'd think Emma here was sampling a fine wine, the way she savors this tasting. She takes an initial nibble, inspects the slice, goes in for another taste, and then gnaws on it a bit. The verdict? Fast forward to 1:05. I think that pretty much speaks for itself.

The Ultimate Baby Vs. Lemon Compilation

You'd have to be a serious sourpuss not to giggle during this one. We've seen a few of these taste-tasting tots before, but most are new (lemon fresh?) and equally as entertaining. My fave is the curly haired cutie in the beginning who throws down the lemon in disgust and then throws a diva tantrum. (What I want to know is, why is everyone feeding their babies lemons? Did I miss the news on the scurvy epidemic?!)

Baby Puckers Up

Yet another baby. Yet another lemon. And yet, I never tire of seeing these first-time reactions. (Thanks, College Humor!)

This Baby Can Handle The Sour!

There's something oddly amusing about babies tasting new foods for the first time. Watch this little guy pucker up after sucking on a lemon, and just when you think he'll return to chewing on a plastic lid instead, he goes in for another lick of lemon. Is this boy trying to torture himself? Or is he just a sour patch kid at heart? To be determined.

Sour Patch Candy: Be Afraid. Be Very Afraid.

This commercial featuring an animated, bi-polar Sour Patch candy acting out isn't exactly making me rush to 7-11. Is there a slasher film on the way?

WTF?!

There may be a whole lotta white underpants, fruity ornaments, and groin action up in here, but don't be deceived. This is not an ad for Fruit of the Loom; it's a commercial for Altoids. Tell me, how is some sick sexual fetish supposed to make me want to grab for a breath mint? But these are sour mints, which I guess pair well with the sour look of disgust on my face right now. So there you have it.

Awkward! Roommates Hooking Up

TresSugar — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 09:00:00 -0700

Here's a story that will convince you that living on your own is worth higher rent. A friend of mine in her second year of graduate school decided to move in with two fellow students. After a month of a really fun house-dynamic, the two other roommates started sleeping together. They had been only friends before, but the close quarters apparently made them discover a mutual attraction. Now my friend feels like she's living with a couple instead of two friends and she's worried about a potentially dramatic situation if things go sour between the pair. What would you do if you suddenly wound up being the third wheel in your own place?

Flashback: Sexy '60s Girl Group

If the "other delights" include chips, jalapeños, and melted cheddar cheese, then these ladies have my undivided attention. Our gals may look lick luscious on the cover of this album, but all sex appeal was completely unintentional. The Frivolous Five were parodying the cover of a popular Herb Alpert album called Whipped Cream and Other Delights. You gotta love a group of grannies who don't take themselves too seriously. I've never heard their vocal stylings myself, but the cover alone makes this record anything but frivolous. Love them!

A Sweet Sixteen Surprise Made Sour

What do you give the girl who has everything when she turns sixteen? Apparently, NOT a red $50,000 car. Damn it, daddy- she wanted a blue car to match the color of her frigid cold heart. Don't you understand the importance of color coordination?

When Love At Work Goes Sour

Dear Sugar
I am a black woman and I have been dating a white man for four months. I love him, but he's so hard to read. We work together, and ever since we first met (two years ago), we've flirted. We finally decided to give it a go in May. At first everything was going well, but then for some strange reason, I saw him quickly distancing himself from me.

I recently asked him why he was acting so strange toward me and if something is wrong, but he just tells me that it's not me, it's just the fact that we work together that he dislikes. He feels that we should break up because of how dating effects the other people in our company.

He also added that he doesn't want to see me with anybody else. I of course don't want to see him with anyone else either. I love him and I want to be with him! When we are together, we kiss so passionately, and it's so obvious that there is fantastic chemistry between us. Help, I don't know what to do. Interracial Irie

Dear Interracial Irie
It sounds like he's using work as an excuse. He also wants to have his cake and eat it too. He doesn't want you to be with anyone else because that would distract him at work. Lots of couples meet at work and work through their office issues and have loving and lasting relationships.

Others have terrible and uncomfortable break-ups that lead to you spending way too much time questioning the situation, him, your sanity and everything about you. You will be uncomfortable in the office and in a state of non-stop thinking. That also means that your work is not getting done.

Decreased productivity in the office is never good. It can lead to feeling worse about yourself when you fall behind, and worse you could get yourself fired. Your problems are only going to exacerbate when things begin slowly to fall apart. That's where you are right now. So take control and let him go; because you have too much at stake at the office.

It's a really horrible feeling when you don't have the option of personal space at work, which should be the place where you are most focused. So, if he's willing to let you go because of work then I am willing to bet that he doesn't feel the same way about you that you feel about him.

It's been four months and he's already trying to get out of this relationship, so save yourself from the never ending water cooler drama and let him go. Cut your losses now. It's only going to get worse for you at work if you stay together and then he tries this again.
