Miracle Fruit

  Condoms. I've been told they leave a sour taste on anything they touch, which does not bode well for me.

  Or just try the lemon and tell us if it works...

  "The berry rewires the way the palate perceives sour flavors for an hour or so, rendering lemons as sweet as candy.

  The miracle fruit, Synsepalum dulcificum, is native to West Africa and has been known to Westerners since the 18th century. The cause of the reaction is a protein called miraculin, which binds with the taste buds and acts as a sweetness inducer when it comes in contact with acids."

  OK, when I get this, what do you guys want me to try first?

  (no, Jnr, not that)
