These Miracle Berry pills are a mystery to modern science, but if previous behavior is any indicator of future actions, then that shouldn’t stop you from ingesting this chemical by the boatload. The pills make sour things taste sweet, so you can eat a few and then scarf down lemons, foul camp food, or mystery berries you find on the trail side with impunity. Actually, those berries might still kill you. Miracle Berry pills cost $20 for 10 doses.

The NYTimes had an article about these funky berries a while back. Seems legit.
I heard that beer is delicious when you are all high on these pills.
So if they make sour things sweet, do things already sweet become mind-blowingly sweet? or do they mirror flip to sour?
These pills block the chemical receptors that fire for “sour” in your tongue or do they monkey with your brain receptors? (Side effects include black becoming white, right now wrong–beware of falling up!)
I heard about this on NPR a while back. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=9264829

Where “berry” = “snozberry”
The box says “Miracle Fruit Tablets”, and yet the inner package states they are “Mysterious Fruit Tab”.
Miracles are mysterious, true…but this confusion undermines my previous trust in the distributor.
I’ve spent the last half hour raiding my fridge on these. The outside of my mouth burns, but i’ve discovered that wedges of lime are, in fact, the tastiest fruit on the planet, lemon juice is _WAY_ better than lemonade, and apple cider vinegar? Surprisingly tasty. The only downside is that they make black coffee taste like nothing at all. Seriously, these things are out of control.
