    Default Anyone ever food tripped before?

    A trusted friend at work was telling me about food tripping. He said you just buy these pills off Amazon and throw a food trip party.

    Here is an example: http://www.amazon.com/mberry-Miracle...=food+tripping

    Basically, the pill alters the way you perceive sweet and sour and switches them so eating a whole lemon/lime and taking a shot of vinegar is very easy. He said he actually ordered them and tried them and had the party etc. He did say that one friend ate a bunch of lemons and had at least three shots of vinegar, then started to not feel so well.

    I want to try them out.

    Miracle berry or Synsepalum dulcificum is a plant native to West Africa. It is an evergreen plant that produces small red berries which are produced for many months in a year. The seeds are about the size of coffee beans. The berry is sweet, and contains an active glycoprotein molecule called miraculin along with some carbohydrate chains. Miracle Fruit contains a glycoprotein called miraculin, which binds to the tongue's taste buds when the fruit is consumed. Miraculin acts as a sweetness inducer when it comes in contact with acids, causing sour foods to taste sweet, temporarily. This effect usually lasts between 30 minutes and 2 hours.

    I've experienced numerous food sweats, after chowing down. Especially at weddings, family get togethers and 50th + bday parties.

    He also tell you when he took a shit it smelled so good he wanted to savor the flava. BUT couldn't due to the toilet seat tasting like Reeses peanut butter cups?

    I've done it, if you're referring to the M Berry product. The craziest thing I tried was vinegar , it makes it taste like Kool-Aid.

    Heard of them. Some high end chefs use them.

    I had that thought as well.

    Yeah, I wonder why... that's a lot of acid in your stomach.... definitely not good for you!
