I've heard of it but never tried it. I've heard from people who have done it that after a night of binging on things like lemon slices and vinegar, your mouth and/or stomach can be really killing you the next day. |

Miracle Fruit "Flavor Tripping"
My birthday is coming up. My friend and I are throwing a joint birthday "Flavor tripping" party themed around Miracle Fruit:
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/28/di...r=1&ref=dining
We tried it a couple of weeks ago, and it is the craziest thing ever. It completely changes the way everything tastes. We were eating lemon slices like they were candy, and drinking vinegar like it was sprite. My girlfriend was snacking on crumbled gorganzola cheese like it was a bowl of M&Ms.
Has anyone else tried this? I know it has been around for a while. If you haven't yet, give it a try. It really screws with your head.

True, especially accompanied by heavy drinking. Maybe I should call this an Ulcer Party.

Nice! Can I come?
I wouldn't mind trying one just to see how it works.

This stuff is useful for diabetics or getting passed the taste of food when you're dieting.
I plan on growing my own miracle fruit.Surrender your flesh. We demand it.

And monster madness doing drive-bys on a fuckin fixie bike

Oxymoron like buff faggots playin sissy dykes

It's only like a hundred bucks for 30-40 berries.
Oh wait. American.
FfffffYou merely have to change your point of view slightly, and then that glass will sparkle when it reflects the light.

That's quite interesting.
But looks like it really only affects how someone perceives sour taste. So how would this be useful to diabetics, assuming they'll probably be eating just vegetables? I bet a carrot would still taste the same...

Sounds like fun. Hey Robot, you should eat a raw clove of garlic and see how it tastes, or a hot pepper.

That's what I was implying... that nice things probably taste the same. So really it's only exciting if you want to eat lemons and vinegar... Originally Posted by shroom

Buy the tabs. They are cheaper, and don't spoil. You still just rub it on your tongue until it dissolves. Originally Posted by WakataDreamer

We tried hot sauce, and it still tasted hot. The background vinegar tasted sweet, so it ended up tasting like thai food. Originally Posted by Silox

It isn't a drug. It doesn't actually alter your body chemistry. It is just a protein that coats your tongue to screw with your taste buds. I guess I don't really know, would it be considered a drug? Originally Posted by hellohihello

And I just bought some for this weekend. We got it in the tablet form, and it worked great.
