You probably remember hearing about The Miracle Fruit (containing the mysterious protein miraculin) earlier this year. It makes bitter and sour taste sweet, and, by altering those two flavors, makes everything taste like something else.
Surprise surprise, they turned it into a pill!
Available from ThinkGeek, the Miracle Fruit Tablets come in dodgy-looking packets of ten and will apparently blow your mind so much, they recommend only taking half a tablet to start.
Originally documented in France in 1725, the Miracle Fruit has been experiencing a renaissance of interest since 2007. We attribute the public fascination to the hope that one day cauliflower will taste like ice cream and vinegar will taste like ranch dressing. As people continue to invent crazy diets to lose weight, everyone is on the lookout for a way to make diet food taste more like Snickers bars. We wonder what it does to cabbage soup!
For now, people are mostly using the tablets recreationally. Two pills per person makes one heck of a crazy dinner party!

Limes and lemons really did taste quite sweet but everything else that we tried was pretty much as it was originally. We're going to up it to 2 pills next time and give it another go. I'm thinking the whole fruits are better.
