About

A Sour Plate is a meal consisting of food that is not typically sour, such as meats like chicken and sausage, that has been made sour by being mixed with or wrapped in sour candy and coating. Videos of sour plates, and memes about sour plates, were popularized online in late February 2026 by TikTok and Instagram Reels user @ilikehaskell (Haskell), who began posting videos showing off his sour plates that month. The trend inspired reviews of sour plates, many of which were negative.
