Not Quite Miraculous

My co-worker, friend, and upstairs neighbor Ben bought some Miracle Berries recently, and decided to throw a "tasting party." Since the "miracle" part of the berries is their ability to make sour foods taste really sweet, we bought an array of different foods to test out while "under the influence." The miracle berries came in powder form, and we basically had to put a clump of powder in our mouths and then swish around the juice it made with our spit. It definitely worked - beer and hot sauce were the most dramatically changed flavors, both being extremely sweet and extra yum. Already sweet foods, like candy and fruit tasted really bland. I drank too much hot sauce and had to go home early.

Don't worry, it's just lime pickle....

I'm not sure what was happening here...I thought Ben and Tim were about to makeout.



Apparently not?


Tender coconut, green pepper, and beer were extra sweet and delicious
