Flavor tripping

Aside from an extremely lame host (sweet track suit dude), "Supreme Commander," aka "guy who wishes he was the cool party person from college that organized mixers," which is funny because that isn't a cool guy to be, the New York Times article is alluring. The point is these damned berries.

These miracle berries have the profound ability to make sour foods taste abnormally sweet and thus they have an estranging effect on all foods, since all foods have varying levels of sourness and the alteration causes the rest of the flavors to become jumbled. The possibilities are entertaining: drinking cheap tequila or vodka without flinching, downing hot sauce like water, or perhaps a "flavor roofie" prank.

There are stipulations of course, a single berry costs upwards of $2 and they perish easily, but they are available through Supreme Loser's website and the more humble, MiracleFruitMan.com.
