When life hands you lemons…give them to babies?

Get ready for the most dramatic 2-and-a-half-minute video you've ever seen involving babies and lemons.

The joy! The horror! The confusion! Sour has never been so cute.

"Pucker" was first released as a photo series by Toronto-based photographers April Maciborka, 30, and David Wile, 33, which captured toddlers' first tastes of lemon.

They filmed each bite of citrus with a slow-motion camera.

"We thought it would be really cool to see the baby's face in slow motion," Maciborka tells the New York Daily News.

"With video it's great," she adds. "You let it roll and see what happens."

Of the almost 20 children they photographed, only one little girl refused to eat the lemon.

"It was a texture problem for her. She just wasn't having it," Maciborka tells Good Morning America.

Now their video of babies' first tastes of tartness is going viral.

"Everyone can relate to it. It's comical. They know how their face will pucker up," Maciborka says. "The concept is so simple yet it's so funny. People are very interested in seeing simple everyday things but with a twist to it."

Moms and dads out there, how did your little ones react the first time they tasted a lemon?
