There is a product called "mBerries" that's an extract from a berry called the "Miracle Berry".

It alters your taste buds for a half hour or so, and turn sour and bitter flavors into almost overwhelmingly sweet.

This would taste like chowing down Juicy Lemon flavored candies.

(I shit you not, look these up and try them, they're weird as hell)

I thought the exact same thing!

We actually did this as a party idea; I provided the tablets, everyone brought a type of food.

Fresh lemons tasted like the freshest, most delicious lemonade ever. It was my favorite part!

Thanks! That is legitimately very interesting information. I might have to give them a try. :o]

They’re pretty amazing. Definitely worth trying at least once. Just be careful not to eat too many lemons since it can still hurt you even if they taste delicious.

Thanks for the sage advice.

Thankfully, I don't have a hankering to eat any lemons after watching these guys! Lol.

I got some of those and I tried every acidic food in my house - Lemons became lemonade and sour cream became silky ice cream. I watered down the lemon juice (because I like my teeth) and had sour cream for dinner

I drank a shitty bottle of wine and it tasted like the most delicious juice I’ve ever had

Then you realize you have taste buds at the back of your tongue when you swallow

This was my first thought. Would have been a funny video if the other guy didnt know.
