Toothpaste tastes sour:

Bitter taste after brushing teeth because the taste buds of your tongue are covered with proteins that act as receptors for food particles.

Taste bad after brushing cause when you brush your teeth, toothpaste releases a foaming agent called sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS). This SLS interferes with the proteins that line the membranes of the taste cells in the mouth.
