"too sweet to be sour too nice to be mean" - where does this come from?

Asked by elbowsquare (9points) April 8th, 2010

I came across this phrase:

“too sweet to be sour too nice to be mean”

I think it means if someone seems too nice then maybe they’re just faking it.

Is that correct?

Where does this phrase come from?

Have you ever heard anyone using it or is this sort of old-fashioned?
