"Sense Of Taste"

Do you think that the name of this sweet is very strange?

This sweet isn't sweet when you taste it in the first thirty seconds, after that it becomes sweet. Can you see the wording on the top right hand corner? 900 means very sour. The lowest one is 500; the highest is 1500.

I bought this sweet from my school's snack counter. It costs $7.5. Its flavor is cola. It has other flavors, like lemon and grape.

I think if you try this sweet you will like it.

Chiu Man, I find this article quite interesting, it is about language and the importance of practice.
人的左腦,有兩個區域,都是管語言的。語
言區發達,學語言有先天的便利。這一類人,聽覺敏銳,發音準確,而且對於文法,好像有先天感覺,興趣濃厚。一兩年之內,掌握一種外文,兩三年之內,第二種外文,亦同時掌握。
語言跟邏輯是十分接近的。邏輯心強烈的人,通常創意很低。而這類人仕,離開了語言,就無法思考。語言好,反而成為思維障礙。而且他們自己是永遠不會知道的。
想學好語言,怎辦?李察相信,持續的練習,可以促進自己的語言區域發展。

1. The wordings on the top right hand corner mean: "Monster label 900".

2. I have tried this kind of candy before, very interesting - sour first, sweet later. It is a kind of sour candy, and should be called as such. Hence it should not be called sour sweet!

3. I don't think it has anything to do with practice. It will always be sour first, sweet later.
