Fine Arts: No one really remembers their first lemon, anyways

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to feed babies extremely sour foods just to watch their reactions? Oh, yeah. Me either. But apparently it’s all the rage with today’s young parents, and thanks to the internet, those sick bastards who are actually curious about such hijinks can whittle away hours of otherwise productive time stifling their mirthful giggles from coworkers.



Of course, the practice of feeding babies lemons and limes for our amusement has existed long before YouTube. I even spent a Christmas dinner with my parents this year prying the details of my own initiation into culinary unpleasantries. It’s a universal tradition, like funny cat videos or 2Girls1Cup reactions—maybe as old as civilization itself. That’s probably why YouTube is packed with the little pursed lips and clenched eyes of every race, color, and creed alive.
