Question:

When people are eatin somethin sour, why do their eyes close?


Answers:
the acidity of the sour food cauces chemical reactions in our facial muscles thus the contractions.

The fat piles up on their eye lids.

the sudden intense sour taste make our eyes tear up, so we have grown accustomed to closing our eyes, lest we shed a tear or two

I guess it's a relfex kind of protecting us by letting us know that the food is very sour.

good question

i do it cause my eyes get watery thus the tear is born

there eyes close because what they are eating is sour

enjoying it..

I just assumed it was because my face feels like it's being sucked outside-in. Seriously, I have no idea.
