Which words are bothering you? Surely not "your mouth", "little", or "sour". A water fountain "spurts" water, and "explodes" suggests "little explosions in your mouth". Is that helpful?

You need more context to understand imagery:

A green guava is sour and hard. You bite into it at its widest point, because it’s easier to grasp with your teeth. You hear the skin, meat, and seeds crunching inside your head, while the inside of your mouth explodes in little spurts of sour.
