Which word does not belong with the others?

gelatin
tofu
gum
sourball

The correct answer is: sourball

The word "sourball" does not belong with the others because it refers to a type of candy, while the other three options—gelatin, tofu, and gum—are all food substances that are often used as ingredients in various recipes or as standalone food items. Gelatin is a protein derived from collagen often used to thicken or stabilize foods, tofu is a soy-based product rich in protein and commonly used in vegetarian dishes, and gum typically refers to chewing gum which is a type of food item consumed for its flavors. Sourball, in contrast, is specifically a confectionery item and does not share the same category as the other three, which have culinary applications beyond just being sweets.
