I bring this up as I  figure a few of you might want to participate in the insanity by getting some as well.
 
I'm talking about Miracle Berry Tablets. Mysterious Fruit Tabs. Miraculin dots. Hairy Tongue Vests. Daddy's Medicine. Whatever you want to call them, the bottom line is they're awesome.

RAW SCIENCE: The fruit extract has a protein that inhibits your sour and bitter taste receptors.
 
TRANSLATION: Lemons taste like fucking candy, dawg!
 
More science can be found on Wikipedia: Miracle Fruit
 
HOW PARTY? Let the tab dissolve in your mouth and coat your tongue with it's foamy filth to fuck up your taste buds something fierce. The taste-altering effect can last for a few hours too.

WHERE GET? ThinkGeek carries them: Miracle Berry Fruit Tablets
 
Here's a picture of the berry, in case you live in Africa and are wondering why you find yourself out in the bushes every night, naked and frothing at the mouth:
 
 

Only found in Kijuju

 Oh and here's the UPS tracking number: 1Z7R02W10376954954 - says it'll get to them on Wednesday.

In my experience, pills in mail boxes are always a good thing.

@turbomonkey138: I've heard that the berry tastes like raisins. More so I've heard that it simply doesn't taste very good.

Oh yeah, those things, apparently vinegar is meant to taste like orange juice after you've chewed them.
 
You make it sound as if you've sent them a bomb.
 
Edit: Actually it makes vinegar taste like treacle;

I'd be caution about what I eat if I were the Giantbomb crew, random food and pills in the mail is a little dangerous.

LOL that's the first thing i wondered: what does it make semen taste like. Potentially its best use is as a gift to your girlfriend.
 
EDIT: With some very quick research here is a testimony-
 "The results are in. Women taste well ... like nothing. I would assume results will vary but this was more then a one person survey (3). The miracle fruit tablets removed all flavor. Could be a considered a good thing for some folks but is not that huge I would think.

Less data (1) but men's release tastes sweeter. A lot sweeter. I would suspect this as being the norm as I know that depending on what we eat and drink it does change the flavor with sweeter or less sweet being adjectives so it must contain some sugar.

I hope this helps. "

Note that some guy was asking this and instead of trying it himself sent FREE tablets to anyone who PM'd him. So who knows. If he couldn't just see for himself im not sure why he was so interested lol

I have tried this before. It was odd. We had lemons, limes, and really bitter chocolate. Yummy :)

Well, it makes sense.  Grapefruit, lemons, and semen (especially semen) have sugar in it.  Block out the other tastes and suddenly the sugar is a lot noticeable.

Look guys, it's cool and all that you've found out about miracle fruit and wanna try it on a bunch of different things but when a bunch of supposedly straight guys start wondering what their jizz bombs would taste like, well that's a little alarming.
