The Miracle Berry


Recommended Posts

Hey guyz,

Just watched something on the telly about "the miracle berry" after you eat it, it's meant to make sour stuff taste sweet, so you eat a lemon and it'l make it taste amazing. Anyway i was thinking of ordering some to try out with shisha and see how it tastes. They're out of stock for the moment so will have to wait till the 20th of June!

So you're going to eat this miracle berry and then smoke, or put the berry in the shisha? I'm confused. scratch_one-s_head.gif

I forget exactly how these berries work, but it's a chem reaction with acids, I believe, so it may have no affect on hookah :\ but let me know! I know erowid has information on them

Well, you eat them first, and then you have something sour, on telly i saw em try a lemon and then some vinegar! The berry does something scientific to your taste buds lol, I should be getting some soon theyre quiet expensive so just getting it to try. its like $12 for 2grams

I'm not sure if that would work with smoking but best of luck.

A type of protein in the berry coats your tongue. Lasts for an hour or two.

I'm not sure if it would work with shisha (unless you ate it?) as I would have thought that most of the flavour comes from your olfactory system. Be interested to see how it goes; I've had some on order for a couple of weeks (hasn't arrived yet) but I was only really going to use it for Fruit Tripping. Edited by Ron Perlman

Miracle fruit is amazing. I have yet to try it with hookah but I will get some soon and let you guys know.

If you know where to look you can find a concentrated and freeze dried form for much cheaper. Most of the cost is shipping the fresh berries.

It's not that it makes everything taste sweet.

It modifies how your tongue senses taste, but most notably acid (sour) becomes sweet. Bitter is interesting in it's own right. The actual flavors beyond basic sensation are modified as well.

Wow, I tried this after seeing about it here, been reading the posts but never joined, but just has to finally register to say that this miracle berry is amazing - especially when you've got the munchies, wow.

Anyway..I ordered a packet of miracle berry tablets from http://www.miracleberrypill.org and had a pipe or two, then when I got the munchies I had the miracle berry tablet.

After easting the tablet (you dont eat it you let it dissolve on your tongue and voer as many taste buds as possible)..I first tried the lemon, oh my god it was so delicious, then tomato .. I just couldnt stop eating them, you wont beleive how delicious they are untill you try one. Guinness tastes like choco milk shake and anything with vinegar or pickled taste like sweets, Salt and vinegar crisps taste exactly like a chinese sweet and sour, its 10 quid for 10 tablets so thats only a quid a pop, well worth it, people are calling this experience a "taste trip" hehe

Normal gluttony, yes, but munchies no.

Anyway, I did get my Miracle Berry pills (although not from the supplier mentioned above) and they were quite strange. I wouldn't go as far to say that I'd eat them all the time (and all that citrus acid is probably quite bad for your teeth and stomach) but definitely worth a try.

Lemons tasted quite sweet, raw rhubarb was absolutely amazing, tangy goats cheese tasted like cheese-cake, kefir was like a lassi, grapefruit was probably the best (really sweet and juicy) but mushroom ketchup was bloody awful, so don't try it kids.
