So, I am going to one of these "flavor-tripping parties" with this Miracle Fruit. Anyone ever had it? Apparently it's 100% legal, and contains no sort of drug.

It reprograms your tastebuds, so that things that have a sour/bitter taste, taste very sweet after consumed.

I've never gone to a party or anything, but they grew them at a botanical garden I went to when I was in Ghana. Very odd, but cool.

The only miracle fruit I know are beans.

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably not true.

It's actually real, and very strange...but amazing!

You can buy the plants at a farm near where I grew up...

ya see, I always thought they were good for your heart. I grew up in the 70's...toot meant something different in those days.

Aw, thanks, papi. Let me annoint you with my juices.

Doodle, I actually heard your version first, too. I think the "fruit" one is more widespread and the heart one was more an east coast thing.
