  • One of the towns I ride through has a really busy/dense section of the bike & pedestrian trail that splits into a pedestrian only section and a bike only section for 2 miles. The bike section always has people walking on it during the weekends, even when there’s plenty of room on the pedestrian side. Most weekends are still rideable, but some days I just ride in the street so it doesn’t take half an hour to go 3 miles.

    Sour candy is typically flavored with various acids citric, malic, tartaric, etc. to achieve the sour taste.

    If the bacteria is normally in the mouth, but not typically able to survive the acidic environment of the gut, maybe that additional acid from sour candy was able to add selective pressure, and the surviving bacteria were then less affected by stomach acid.
