In this article, scientists did an interesting test about the taste of bubbles. They did this test on five groups of mice. Each group had different tasting abilities which were controlled by the scientists. They found that when humans or animals detect different tastes by using their taste buds. The carbon dioxide in these drinks, knock off some protons from the proteins thus causing a sour taste.

I found this article interesting because it effects humans almost everyday. We don't usually think so deep into smaller things such as this but personally this fascinated me.
