‘Operation Tastebud’
October 28th, 2008 by timbotron
Even two months after the New York Times article on Miracle Fruit was published (last May), online sources were still sold out or were having difficulty maintaining their stock of Miracle Fruit.
Everyone had to try it.
Especially me.
When chewed/eaten, Miracle Fruit (Synsepalum dulcificum) temporarily alters your taste perception: the sensation of “sour” registers as “sweet” for approximately 1-2 hours.
I finally got a hold of some Miracle Fruit tablets (dried Miracle Fruit in tablet form), from Miracle Fruit World online.
Friends and I experimented with Miracle Fruit tablets over the past week, here are some observations and results:
• It makes a lemon taste like a Valencia orange.
• It makes a Meyer lemon taste like an expensive Valencia orange.
• It makes a lime taste like a sweet tangerine.
• It makes Country Time Instant Lemonade taste like bland sugar water.
• It makes Sour Patch Kids taste like Normal Patch Kids (it makes them taste like fruity gummy bears).
• It makes a Dill Pickle taste like a gross Sweet Pickle.
• It makes a Cola taste very sugary and sweet(er).

Someone should take one of these and see if it makes the act of “keeping the lady happy” any different!
Although I guess a shower would help the most with that, I’ll leave her a memo.

This is fantastic i tried this after seeing it on TV.
The miracle berries have some fantastic effects personally i thought they were better than the tablets.
Ive managed to just get hold of some plants aswell from http://www.MiracleFruitHut.com
I also noticed that taking the tablets before going out on a night of drinking helped cure the hangover in the morning lol, which is amazing. Other people have told me similar also. It really is a miracle berry!
