Last week, Merritt and I shared quite the interesting culinary experience. I'm talking a real psychedelic taste bud trip, starting with a little pink pill and ending with the transformation of an ordinary sour lemon into a deliciously sweet indulgence...
This mysterious taste-transforming tablet is the mberry, a dissolvable pill made from the miracle berry. After the mberry melts on your tongue, anything sour, spicy or tart will supposedly taste dangerously sweet. Unbelievable, right? Our sentiments exactly. Which is why after sitting through 2 minutes of the mberry's odd wood/berry-ish taste (a strange description, I know; you'd have to experience it to know what I mean), we were pretty hesitant to bite into the king of all that is sour...
But instead of a baby-meets-lemon face-twisting reaction, we looked up at each other eyes wide in amazement. Now, we are in no way suggesting chowing down on these acidic yellow fruits (they can erode your tooth enamel and flare up heart burn. Ouch!), but post-mberry, these lemons tasted AMAZING! Like they had been doused in sugar; a tequila shot sans tequila. Which got me thinking: Imagine the street-cred-building possibilities that could come with these little berry pills..."$200 to chug that tabasco? No problem" or "No thanks, no chaser for me."
