10 Reasons to Send a Sour Note

Not every message needs to be wrapped in sugar. Sometimes, you need a bold, juicy, slightly ridiculous way to say what's on your mind — and that's where Sour Note comes in. Whether you're settling a score or sending a smirk, here are 10 reasons to send a lemon with a message:

🥇 1. Your Ex Still Follows You for No Reason

They ghosted, but still like your stories?
Time to send a citrusy "hello" from the past.

🥪 2. Someone Ate Your Lunch at Work (Again)

Words aren't enough.
But a lemon with "Enjoy the acid reflux" might do the trick.

🤐 3. You Want to Say "I Told You So" — Without Actually Saying It

Let the lemon do the talking.
It's petty, but it's poetic.

💔 4. Your Best Friend Made Up with Their Toxic Ex

You love them.
You just don't love this version of them.
A zesty wake-up call might be in order.

😂 5. It's a Breakup — But You're Still Funny

When it's over but your sense of humor isn't,
Send a Sour Note that's sharper than your exit line.

📧 6. Someone Sent You a Passive-Aggressive Email

Two can play that game.
One of you just happens to be holding a lemon.

🤪 7. You Want to Make Someone Laugh — or Cringe

Send one to your best friend, sibling, or roommate just to mess with them.
It's the sour thought that counts.

😈 8. You're Petty — and Proud

Petty is an art form.
Sour Notes are your medium.

🧘 9. It's Cheaper Than Therapy (Kind Of)

Bottling emotions is expensive.
Mailing a lemon? Just $15.00 and incredibly cathartic.

🎁 10. Because You Can

No one expects a lemon in the mail.
That's what makes it perfect.
