| Miracle Fruit Berry |
Miracle Fruit or Synsepalum dulcificum is a plant (bush), native to West Africa that is causing a sensation across the country. These berries make sour and bitter foods taste sweet. With the help of my son we purchased some Frooties an extract from these berries made into a pill that you dissolve on your tongue. After that we did some flavor trippingby tasting a variety of bitter and sour foods. Here is what each of them tasted like in order of effectiveness. It was like, man, an amazing trip without drugs.

| Ro Tasting Apple Cider Vinegar |
1. Lemons – It was like biting down on a cross between the best sweet lemon candy you have ever eaten and lemon sherbet.
2. Oranges – Reminded me of the best orange that I’ve ever eaten, fresh from the tree.
3. Grapefruit – Reminded me of when my mother served us grapefruits for breakfast and walked out of the room just as we were putting a ton of sugar on top.
4. Sour Cream – reminded me of ice cream.
5. Cider Vinegar – Reminded me of apple cider.
6. Sauerkraut – Made it taste sweet but not sugary
7. Guinness Stout – Took away the bitterness but it did not taste like chocolate to me like some people have posted.
8. Sugar – Did not taste sweet. It seems to have the opposite effect on sweet items.
9. Chocolate – Tasted like wax and not at all sweet.
So if you want to have a great party ice breaker or if you just want to trip out on your own try the miracle fruit and do some flavor tripping.
