Thanks for the sour persimmons, cousin.

This is a quote from a Looney Tunes cartoon, likely a variation of "Duck Amuck" or another classic where Daffy Duck is tormented by a hidden animator. The phrase is spoken by Daffy to a "cousin" (or a "cousin" in a more general sense) and expresses a sarcastic "thanks" for something unpleasant, like a gift of sour persimmons.

After his friend canceled their plans at the last minute, leaving him with a non-refundable ticket, John muttered, "Thanks for the sour persimmons, cousin.", and headed to the concert alone.
