mberry Miracle Berry Tablets, Miracle Fruit Snacks, 10 Count, .12 Ounce, Pack of 1

Loads of fun! It genuinely does make sour things taste sweet. The actual tablets (presumably from the miracle berry) have a very pleasant lightly tart and sweet flavor, vaguely similar to raspberries in flavor. It lasted me for plenty long to try a bunch of stuff, but it does feel a little rushed if you're trying to prepare the food *after* consuming the tablet, so try and have all the food you want prepared before you eat the tablet.

So, a couple of years ago I bought a pack of Miracle Frooties off of the internet, a different brand than these, and really enjoyed my experience. My boyfriend hadn't even heard of miracle fruit, so I figured it was time to experience the strange taste bud-altering sensations of this truly miraculous berry just for funsies again.These tablets are just as strong, if not very slightly stronger, than the tablets I've tried previously. The flavor of the pills is mildly unpleasant at first, and you can sort of tell that the flavor is changing and becoming more sweet as you dissolve the pill on your tongue--the effects are /very/ quick, and should already be taking place while you slowly dissolve half or a whole tablet (my preference is just to use a full tablet to get a bit more out of the experience, as well as increased longevity of the sensation) in your mouth. Really, the longer you just swish the tablet around your tongue, the more contact the miraculin has with your taste bugs, the better. Don't chew them up!Also, try not to drink too much alcohol before doing this... I think? For both my boyfriend and I, we tried them first moderately under the influence and found the effects to be more sedated and tame than they were sober. He said he could tell that things were sweeter, but it just wasn't as big of a difference in flavors as it was when we tried them the next day--I felt like the experience was still fun under the influence of alcohol, but also way less impactful or profound of a tasting experience than doing so sober.Like other reviews mention, the strength of the flavor transformation also partially depends on individual factors... it just works better with some people than others. For instance, I could barely even tell that the bitter 'feeling' (not necessarily a bitter flavor) was there when sucking down lemons, but my boyfriend still detected the bitter 'feeling.' Things were sweeter for me than they were for him.The gross, unripe oranges I had bought from the store a few days prior tasted like nectar of the gods, while grapefruit tasted like it was already sweetened with sugar. Limes and lemons tasted like pretty much what you'd expect--limeade and lemonade. Salt and vinegar chips had a unique and pleasant sweetness to them, while Flaming Hot Cheetoh with Limon tasted... pretty bland, actually. Fruits tasted the best, dill pickles tasted like sweet pickles, and sriracha sauce also had a new, pleasant sweet flavor. Lemon Starbursts were absolutely INCREDIBLE. And I even had an ice cream bar near the end of my experience, which tasted sweeter and lighter than that type of ice cream bar normally tasted, but also had a slightly artificial flavor... that didn't bother me, really, but figure it's worth noting.All in all, fantastic product at a great price, really. You get quite a few tablets, so one pack is great for a party or fantastic to just have laying around for a rainy day, where you really just want everything to taste like sugar heaven.

They really work! I was a weird experiment, but really fun

If I could give this more than 5 stars I would. The magical tablets make anything taste sweet. Dissolve a tablet on your tongue, and you’re good to go. I ate spicy salsa that surprisingly was sweet. I ate sour candy that was no longer sour. Even bitter foods taste sweet. They are pricey but if you’re having to consume an unpleasant tasting item, these are a game changer.

After the novelty of these wore off, I was disappointed and they left an after-taste that persisted for hours. (I am curious whether the actual berries also leave an after-taste or whether the after-taste is due to the fact that these tablets are manufactured in a laboratory. Having never tried the berries, I can't answer that question).Anyway, as a perennial dieter, I was hoping that these might be just the ticket to add sweetness without calories and avoid the weird after-tastes of artificial sweeteners. However, one thing that I fundamentally did not understand is that these only sweeten if the food you are eating is acidic or sour. Thus, I stupidly thought that if I popped one of these before eating pancakes, my pancakes would taste cake-like and therefore my desire to add syrup to top the pancakes would be gone. However, that did not prove to be the case because pancakes are neither sour nor acidic so the flavor of the pancakes was not significantly modified. Moreover, these ruined my morning ritual of drinking expensive Japanese green tea. I like my tea bitter and unsweetened and I was curious about whether these would have the unwanted effect of making my tea taste sweet, as if I had added sugar. That did not occur, but these totally blunted the flavor of the tea -- as if I was drinking cheap Lipton's tea rather than a super premium Japanese tea. In essence, the tablets destroyed the umami of the tea. I did not try these with wine, but I think a similar effect would occur -- i.e., these would blunt your taste buds so that a premium wine would taste like a cheap supermarket blend.Here are the other things I tried these with:Limes - tasted nice and made a lime seem like chomping on a dessertPlain unsweetened goat milk yogurt -- added a subtle sweetness that made it easier to eat plain yogurt and somewhat camouflaged the "goaty" flavor of the yogurt.Lemons -- wasn't as exciting as the limes - still tasted pretty sour. It was a different tablet than the one I used when I ate the lime - perhaps a manufacturing defect or perhaps the lemon I picked up wasn't as good quality as the lime?Cherries -- had bought some cherries at the supermarket that were really disappointing because they weren't sweet enough and the tablets really improved the taste of the cherries, as if I had gotten super premium freshly picked cherries.Blueberries -- same experience as the cherries. Really improved the taste of mediocre supermarket blueberries.Granny Smith Apple -- didn't like this at all. Masked the sourness of the Granny Smith varietal, which I actually enjoy, and made it seem like I was chomping down on a mediocre supermarket Red Delicious.The bottom line is that I think these would be interesting if you wanted to have a "tasting party" with friends and experiment with how the tablets affect the taste of various foods, but as a tool for dieters, it is pretty much of a fail. The biggest improvement was making mediocre supermarket cherries and blueberries taste better, but I would actually rather seek out less mediocre fruit (and, as stated, I actively disliked how these affected supermarket Granny Smith apples).As a dieter, for those few things where I miss sugar (like oatmeal or plain yogurt), I think I am better served by seeking out artificial sweeteners. To that end, I just ordered some "Swerve" from Amazon, one of the few artificial sweeteners I have not yet tried.Swerve Sweetener, 16oz [1lb] At least that is less expensive and is not going to ruin my premium tea.

I purchased on the advice of my 20 year old nephew. He said they were the wildest thing that he has tried. This are tiny dissolvable pills that actually alter the way you taste things. They tasted a lemon and a lime and said they it was sweet. The sweet turned sour. They took a teaspoon of sugar and it tasted sour. This was the moments that I will never forget. My wife was the one that this was brand new to. My nephew had had these before. This was so much fun to watch. They tried thing after thing and was amazed by how everything was backwards. The effects of this tiny little pill that was slightly sweet to taste made the 30 - 45 minute experience so much fun. They tried thing after thing. This is a great party favor for a small group of people. It is definitely worth the price for just the trickery alone.
