    Apparently there is a fruit that you eat that makes everything you eat after it taste very very sweet. Could be cool when the munchies are raging. :) I am going to try this out in a few weeks.

    I have read it some places it makes Guinness taste almost like a milkshake.
    Won't help me too much as beer already tastes like a milkshake.

  5. From Wikipedia:
    "The berry contains an active glycoprotein molecule, with some trailing carbohydrate chains, called miraculin. When the fleshy part of the fruit is eaten, this molecule binds to the tongue's taste buds, causing bitter and sour foods to taste sweet. While the exact cause for this change is unknown, one hypothesis is that the effect may be caused if miraculin works by distorting the shape of sweetness receptors so that they become responsive to acids, instead of sugar and other sweet things."
