I got some of the miracle fruit tablets from Think Geek. I just chewed two up. The texture of the tablet is about the same as chewy sweet tarts. They taste kind of sour themselves.

First off, some plain greek yogurt. It does in fact taste sweet, and definitely plain-yogurtey. I added some lemon juice to boost the flavor. 1 tablespoon of lemon juice in about 1/2 cup of yogurt makes it sweet and flavorful. It's kind of strange. Your tongue tastes lemon, and recognizes it, and your brain thinks "sour" but your tongue says sweet. It's like an optical illusion for taste. Cooking by MC Escher.

Yuengling Black and Tan tastes very sweet, almost like a Mackesons Stout.

A small sip of a rather elderly red on my counter tastes like some kind of sweet wine, like plum wine.

An old Sangria tastes like Hawiian punch.

This stuff is interesting.

I hope you established some boundaries for this experiment.

Doesn't the Think Geek site say that a "dose" is just half a tablet?

Yup, but the package says a dose is one, and more just prolongs the effect.

This is fascinating! I'm purchasing some now. ...for science.

I wonder if it woudl make black coffee taste sweet (I always thought coffee tastes bitter and it claims it makes bitter taste sweet).
