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

these are so fun to try with friends and family. tomatoes tasted sweet lol. thank you. :)

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.

These were actually pretty cool and did what they are supposed to do. The functionality is exactly as advertised. After letting the tablet dissolve, it noticeably altered how foods tasted, especially sour or tart items, making them taste sweet without adding sugar. There is essentially no sugar content, which is the main appeal, and that worked well for me. From a nutrients standpoint, this is more about the experience than nutrition, but it delivers on its intended purpose without needing sweeteners or additives. The effect lasted a reasonable amount of time, long enough to enjoy trying different foods before it wore off. Longevity of each tablet was consistent and predictable. The tablet size is small and easy to use, and the packaging is straightforward. For the price, the value for money feels fair considering the novelty and how well it works. It is not something I would use daily, but as an occasional experience or for fun, it was enjoyable and effective. Overall, these were fun to try and worked exactly how I expected them to.

This did exactly as it was suppose to. I was curious so I ordered a pack. Everyone has different reactions to these berries. I am glad that I have the sweet reaction. My first test was to cut the pill in half as I have read on other reviews for the product. It only worked so so. A lemon did taste sweeter and I could actually eat it. But I wasn't amazed. I tried a lime and wasn't impressed. So I stopped and let some time go by until the lemon was too sour to eat. I then used a whole pill making sure to move it around my mouth to cover everything. WOW!! That did it. Here is a list of the few items I tried. Lemon: Crazy sweet. Tasted like I had dumped sugar on it. Lime: Very Sweet. I ate the whole lime! Tomato: Sweet but not too different. Some have reported this tasting like candy. It was just more pleasant as I eat tomatoes all the time. Cucumber: No real change. It had a sweeter taste but it was barely noticeable. Hot Tea: No difference in taste. Fireball Whiskey: This is sweet on its own. But the cinnamon was enhanced to an almost disgusting level. I think... I should drink more and be sure! Red Wine Vinegar: The smell really punches you before you drink it, but it has a very sweet taste. Then it hits your throat and it reminds you that you are drinking vinegar. Black Coffee: I prefer my coffee blonde and sweet... but for this I had straight black gold... It didn't taste sweet.. but all of the bitterness was neutralized. It would taste like a hint of coffee. It was good. More Fireball Whiskey: Wow.. this is getting better... Plum: No bitterness and a very pleasant sweetness. Not overpowering like the lemon. Very nice! Raspberries: WOW!! Awesome.. the whole "tang" has been taken out of them and it tastes like a natural sweetness. I recommend this!! Orange: It's like an Orange pop... So sweet and very satisfying. I couldn't stop eating it. The whole thing is gone.. Watermelon: Now I LOVE watermelon and happen to have some. This tasted a little bitter last night but it was good.. With the miracle fruit.. HOLY CRAP.. It tastes fresh and sweet as if it was grown in paradise and picked at the exact moment of ripeness. I have to have more. Even More Fireball Whiskey: Heyyyyyyyyyy baby (hic).. Your sooooooooooooooooo pretty.

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 dessert Plain 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.

Super cool, definitely works. Had fun trying different fruits. Definitely worth the experience. Got to try it at least once!

This is one of the weirdest reviews I've had to write because my expectations were so strange going into this purchase I have nothing to measure the results against. I first read about Miracle Fruit a few years ago and was intrigued by the thought that a lemon could taste like lemonade. I wasn't interested in this because of some practical purpose. I just thought it sounded like a neat oddity of nature. Still, I never could bring myself to spend the money on some of the berries. When I saw the tablets I liked the price, but I was skeptical. The mixed reviews didn't help. But for $13, why not be a little adventurous? The tablets took less than five minutes to dissolve on my tongue. The taste was what I can best describe as "generic berry." Have you ever had medicine or candy that is "berry" flavored yet tastes like no specific berry? That's the sort of flavor sensation here. It's to the point where it tastes like an artificial berry flavor. It isn't, however, it's just the nearest thing your brain can compare the taste to. All right, now the challenge. I had some lemon juice. It tasted like lemonade! All right, this is awesome, so I had some orange juice to see what happened. It tasted like sugar water with just a hint of a citrus tone. Weird. I noticed that in some foods, certain flavors were muted. Sweetness was highlighted. Spinach tasted exactly the same as it normally would but anything citrus seems to have an impact. I even tried eating a piece of raw garlic (don't do that) and it burned like heck. However, the taste of the garlic itself was different. It wasn't necessarily good different, but it wasn't necessarily bad. These things aren't a diet aide. I'm not going to use them to trick my brain into thinking that kale is cotton candy. However, they are a fun little novelty (and maybe I can enjoy a lemonade without all of the sugar). For some people, they don't seem to work, but that's probably because everyone has different tastes. If you want to do something fun like this, go for it. But don't expect it to change your life.

Bought these for my son to mask the taste when taking certain meds. He says they help but don’t mask the taste completely which is why I deducted one star. But they mad taking meds more manageable.
