Why does sugar make us happy?

Unlike any other food, comfort foods make us happy. Chocolate, cakes and snickers bars. But why is that a thing and why isnt there the same phenomenon with things like sour foods?

Two different things, really. Sour is the product of acidic. sweet is the product of sugar. Your body still reacts to the tartness of the sour, but it’s not appetizing to most. Also, most of the sugar that is addictive is super processed. Would you rather have a lemon or a cookie. (Bad example) but you like sweet things more than tart things. And it’s super addictive. Sorry. I didn’t really answer the question. Sugar triggers a chemical reaction in your brain, whereas sour doesn’t. I dont know if that helped it was more of a rant haha
