I bought a paper bag full of sour patch kids yesterday and ate some of them very discreetly while sitting in the library. They left an awful, bitter taste in my mouth that lingered for the rest of the day. It tasted like the time I swallowed a little bit of shampoo in the shower.
This morning I woke up and had some more of them, for breakfast.

Update! the internet told me that the real culprit was the handful of pine nuts I ate a few days ago. I love diagnostic message boards.
"Like I licked the bottom of a bicycle tire or something. Wife had a slight case of it but I ate more and suffered all day each day with it. Like it is in my saliva."
"I would liken the taste to deodourant, if you have ever been unfortunate enough to get some in your mouth. YUK."
