This was 30 years ago. I lived on the second floor of an apartment. I left a half-eaten bag of Little Debbie chocolate donuts on the floor next to my bed. The next night, in a dark room, watching David Letterman, I remembered and reached for the bag. I was three donuts in before I noticed the slightly strange taste, and the ant crawling on my face.
Formic acid is named after the scientific name for ants, and is also known as “ant acid” because they make it.
That’s probably the sour part of the taste you described, since acids tend to be. (Think citric or vinegar)
Live ants.
