Miracle Fruit/Berry

Here's the Miracle Berry I was telling some of you about. Apparently, after chewing on it for a minute or two, it alters your taste buds so that anything you eat within the next one or two hours tastes different. Sour or bitter foods/drinks will taste sweet. And sweet foods will taste weird. Unfortunately, it's really expensive ($2-3 per berry) and hard to find. Although we can order a case of 30 for about $90. We should try it one of these days and have a taste altering party. How about lemonade tasting sweet without any sugar? Or beer that tastes like chocolate? Some interesting possibilities. Check it out:
