Warp your taste buds

Miracle Fruits (sometimes called Miracle Berries) have been a secret wonder of the world for centuries. Though they were first documented by a French dude in 1725, they'd been consumed for many generations prior. They were eaten before meals to make the meals taste better. "How?" you ask. By making sour and bitter foods taste sweet. "But how?" you scream. The truth is, science doesn't completely know (it has something to do with the protein miraculin that bonds to your taste buds, but the exact cause is still a mystery). But the berries work, and it's a miracle.

Now you know we wouldn't sell you something without trying it first. So, we did. Limes suddenly tasted like the sweetest, most perfect limeade ever. Oranges (already quite sweet) tasted like they were imported from an Alien world or plucked straight from the Garden of Eden (truly, words can't describe the life-altering sensations caused by these little tablets). Snozzberries in our wallpaper tasted like . . . ok, they were just boogers (tip to self: don't lick wallpaper). But seriously, these little things are incredible. You can join the new craze of hosting "flavor tripping" parties. Everyone gets a dose of Miracle Berry, and then you taste things. You can even help your diet with Miracle Berry Fruit Tablets - healthy yucky foods will taste like candy and you won't crave sugar-laden (i.e. fattening) candy anymore.

Please note: Highly acidic foods (like pure lemon juice) will taste wonderful, but will still harm your mouth if you drink too much. Also, if you are outside of the US, please check your local laws before ordering (just to make sure your order doesn't get stopped at customs).

Miracle Berry Fruit Tablets

* Dissolve half a tablet on your tongue and sour and bitter foods will taste sweet

There was a CSI: NY episode not too long ago about either this berry or something similar. If I remember correctly, people at a party were eating them and then consuming all kinds of nasty food (and non-food things). Someone used it as an opportunity to poison someone and they didn't notice because the berries warped their taste buds and masked the poison, which was like Drano or something else that nobody in their right mind would guzzle down.

thats the first thing that I thought of when i read this, sounds interesting... has anybody tried it?
 
hmmm, thats really weird... has ayone tried it?? or know anyone that has? im very curious about this.. i want to know more.
 
I have some friends that have done it and they say its pretty cool. I've also heard of "tasting parties" in SF and LA. You pay $60 at the door or something like that and they give you a pill or berry and you go around to different stations and try the food. Sounds fun!
 
If someone actually tries it, let us know. Maybe sometime I'll order it for kicks. I was thinking it would be good to eat all the foods that are really good for you but bland...or you get tired of eating them...like salads, broccoli, brussel sprouts and so on... LOL.
