the true flavor of yellow

I generally do not choose to eat lemon flavored candies or desserts. Even some lemonades get swooped into the "inedible" category as deemed by myself. However, yellow sweet tarts are the best flavor among all the sweet tarts. I eat them first before moving to the green, then blue, then purple then red. For some reason sweet tarts got right combination of lemon and sugar to make it purely awesome yellow treat.
I do love good lemonade. I don't think there's any better lemonade than freshly squeezed lemons right off my grandmother's lemon tree. That's some good lemonade. And if you like my version of a lemonade recipe (skimp slightly on the sugar) Then I'm sure you'll agree. I guess I like the yellow sweet tarts best because they taste closest to lemonade. I call this flavor "The True Flavor of Yellow".
It seems there are two ways you can mess up achieving The True Flavor of Yellow. You can add to much sugar, which turns the natural sunny, tangy, zing of lemonade into a sappy, weak blend of nothing special. It's like comparing two little girls, one who is truly smily, happy, honest and bright to the one who sugarcoats all her actions, is not truly happy, and only has an outward display of sweetness. This is what lemon pies, custards, puddings, and bars taste like to me. Fake. Not truly lemon. Lemon is ridiculously sour and pies, cakes and cookies that add all the sugar and frou-frou to a lemon dessert sap that tartness away. It's not sunny, lemony, zing anymore. It's covered up and hidden.
The other way to destroy The True Flavor of Yellow is by somehow chemically morphing it into a cheap, mass produced treat that is more bitter than tangy or sweet! Now I know you're probably thinking "well she's dump, sweet tarts are mass produced, and cheap" Yes, but they taste good, so it's beside the point. Lemon drops, skittles and lemon starbursts all taste slightly bitter to me. They taste like the girl who not only pretends to be sunny and nice, but isn't at all and really says nasty things about people behind their backs.

Thus is my analysis of The True Flavor of Yellow. When the right amounts of sugar and lemon are involved, yellow tastes sunny, bright, happy, tart, energizing, exciting and zingy. Bananas and pineapples evoke other shades of yellow in their right dimensions, but lemon yellow has very definitive properties, that when messed up only portray the wrong ideas, and of course color. To me, eating too sweet lemon tastes more dull gray, and too bitter lemon is just painful highlighter yellow. But lemonade with just the right amount of sugar is the perfect pretty shade of sunny yellow. :)
