Man, seriously. I tried these things in tablet form like 2 years ago. You can get 'em cheap on E-Bay. Unfortunately, the pill form doesn't work too well. I could drink lemon juice and lime juice just fine, vinegar tasted okay but not great.

Eating an Oreo was the most interesting, actually. It was like painfully sweet.

Women already taste great.

But, I was going to post something similar. I foresee this berry being used in the bedroom.

someone did an experiment... and my theory was a little off.

thinking that sperm is suppose to be base while the vagina a little acidic to balance it out. that the vagina would taste fantastic.

it was reported that vagina taste like nothing, all the flavors gone... (which maybe a good thing for some), while the sperm is sweet.

they need to seriously do more studies on this. could be a big boom for guys.

So cool! A friend of mine bought some miracle fruit tablets and we're going to have a tasting/"miracle fruit party" in a couple weeks. Any more recommendations on foods to try/avoid?

So far, interested in trying bologna (which apparently tastes like cake), vinegar, tabasco sauce, lemon juice and lime juice.

Definitely not bananas.

I might order some. I'm curious why it doesn't seem to have caught on much... Totally overrated?

we got a pack of them from thinkgeek (a little expensive, you can get 3x10 for $8 a pack). lemons were great and grapefruit was the best ever. definitely make sure you taste everything before taking the berry to get the contrast.

Grapefruit has been added to my list! Normally I'm not a huge fan, too tart but apparently that won't be a problem with the berry.

I bought the same thing and I plan on trying this out tonight.

Um... porters taste like chocolate because they're made with chocolate.

no, not really. only a few porters, and some stouts are made with chocolate.

and lol at old thread.

It is old, but I thought it would be better to resurrect this one than start a new one

Thread necro! Just got a 2-pack off Amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/mberry-Miracle-Fruit-Tablets-10-Count/dp/B002JANPDI/

$15 for 10 ($1.50 per tablet) or $25 for 20 ($1.25 per tablet). Did an impromptu flavor tripping party with some friends at dinner tonight. Didn't have all of the ingredients I wanted, but was enough to get a feel for it:

Greek yogurt = tastes the same
Cream cheese = tastes like butter, meh
Blue cheese = same
Lime juice = same
Dried blueberries = same
Lemon juice (didn't have actual lemons) = tastes like a lemonhead mixed with a mega warhead
Cherry tomatos = tastes like a weird but good sugary strawberry. We were popping these like candy after the first one!
Frozen strawberries blended with water (VERY bland pre-tablet) = OH MY GOSH. It tastes like a Jamba Juice with an extra cup of sugar in it.
Grapes = like the most overly-sweet sugar candy ever, I couldn't eat more than a couple because it was so tongue-bogglingly sweet

Takes a few minutes for the tablet to completely dissolve on your tongue. One guy downed 16 ounces of strawberry smoothie (which tasted like sawdust before, like zero flavor) Definitely feels like a violation of physics somehow, haha. I have a big list of stuff to try from reddit, so when I go shopping & have more people over, I'll have to try stuff like actual bits of lemon & vinegar and stuff.

It's super fun to try for a one-off thing. I could see this being big with people who are sugar-sensitive, like diabetics, because this way there's no added refined sugar & you're getting 100% of fiber from the fruit to help compensate for the natural sugar. I'm going to try making some dessert parfaits using foods that get a strong reaction from the tablets...that would make for an awesome healthy dessert with loads of flavor but no white sugar or other junk in them.

I may or may not have a severe case of acid reflux today from eating waaaaay too much acidic foods yesterday :awe:

We grow miracle fruit. Used it somewhat with vegetable juices. Don't use it with the smoothies I now drink, so the berries mostly go to waste. Never was a huge fan of how they intensify sweetness.

From the original article:

Nearby, Yuka Yoneda tilted her head back as her boyfriend, Albert Yuen, drizzled Tabasco sauce onto her tongue. She swallowed and considered the flavor: ?Doughnut glaze, hot doughnut glaze!?

Yeah, sure it was Tabasco sauce. Who here hasn't dribbled a little "hot donut glaze" into their girlfriend's mouth?
