\"Candy<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Sour Patch Kids to Warheads, sour snacks are extremely popular. But have you ever wondered why? Sure, folks love the mouth-puckering taste. But surprisingly, science also plays a big part in our love of all things sour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Want to learn more? Here\u2019s what Tri-R Coffee & Vending has uncovered! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Acid Gives Sour Snacks Their Tart Taste <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to Serious Eats, different acids give sour snacks their unique taste. But don\u2019t worry! These acids aren\u2019t dangerous to eat. There are actually many types of edible acids. For instance, citric acid comes from fruits. And lactic acid is derived from milk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Acetic acid gives chips their sour flavor. You\u2019ll often find this in salt and vinegar or dill-flavored chips. Want to see your San Diego vending machines with this tasty snack<\/a>? Contact Tri-R Coffee & Vending today! We carry a large selection of sour favorites and national brands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sugar Plays a Role in Sour Treats <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many of us think sweet snacks are the opposite of sour ones. However, that\u2019s far from the case. Sweety Treaty says that sugar makes sour candy nicely sour. How? It balances the acid, making your favorite snacks even more delicious. Without sugar, these candies would be too bitter to enjoy. Sugar\u2019s sweetness helps strike the perfect balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This can be seen in candies like Sour Skittles, gummies, and Sour Patch Kids. Sour drinks use sugar, too! Think lemon-lime sodas, like 7-Up and Sprite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Treat employees to these tasty sour snacks and drinks. Tri-R Coffee & Vending offers plenty of sour goodies in San Diego micro-markets. These mini-stores are open 24\/7<\/a>. Thus, employees can buy these types of snacks whenever they like. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sour Snacks Delight the Senses\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"San<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Sour snacks are a pleasurable experience for your senses. That\u2019s because sour tastes make your body produce dopamine. This is your body\u2019s natural \u201chappy\u201d chemicals. They make you feel excited and motivated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Want to boost employee satisfaction? It could be as easy as offering more sour snacks! We can stock the San Diego snack machine<\/a> with sour treats. Then employees can enjoy free handfuls whenever they need a mood boost. Don’t forget about adding wonderfully sour drinks, like citrus sodas or juices. We can stock them in your San Diego beverage vending machine<\/a>.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Balancing It Out <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, too much of a good thing may leave a bad taste in your mouth. Balance out all those sour snacks with cool, crisp water. Tri-R Coffee & Vending\u2019s San Diego water filtration service does the trick<\/a>! The units we place in your break room remove chemical tastes and smells. Therefore, every cup you pour is fresh and delicious. Plus, it promotes office health and hydration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
