Miracle fruit

Now this sounds interesting. I’d love to try this.

At a party here one recent Friday, Jacob Grier stood on a chair, pulled out a plastic bag full of small berries, and invited everyone to eat one apiece. “Make sure it coats your tongue,” he said.

Mr. Grier’s guests were about to go under the influence of miracle fruit, a slightly tart West African berry with a strange property: For about an hour after you eat it, everything sour tastes sweet.

Within minutes of consuming the berries, guests were devouring lime wedges as if they were candy. Straight lemon juice went down like lemonade, and goat cheese tasted as if it was “covered in powdered sugar,” said one astonished partygoer. A rich stout beer seemed “like a milkshake,” said another.

Big deal.  A rich stout IS like a milkshake.

Must be a bunch of soccer players.

Hey, Hud - better not let the Dems find out about this. They’ll reverse-engineer it and make other bitter things easier to swallow - like global warming, Hillary for President, and more kids for Britney.
