Berries Grow Sweet on Taste Buds

Do not be mislead. The title does not mean berries are being grown on tongues, or that they are sweeter if grown there either. 

Rather, it is about, well, a berry that makes things sweet.

I saw an article about the "Miracle Fruit" on CNN.com about it, but really, it has been around for a long time (i am pretty sure I saw a report about it about a year ago)

The berry does not taste like anything actually, more like a bland jelly bean. But after eating one, everything, and anything, will taste sweet, for a limited time of 15-30 minutes. 

The people who produce these berries could potentially make billions of dollars. 

Why? Well, the people who diet, have rotting teeth, or have diabetes can still please that sweet tooth. Just chew a berry and eat something, it would taste just as good as chocolate cake.

At the same time, if dared to drink a bloody mary in a truth or dare contest (i think the concoction is composed of vinegar, salt, pepper, hot sauce, soy sauce, mustard, ketchup, wasabi, and anything else you can think or find, mixed together in water of course), no problem. Just eat a berry and, its a miracle, ur tongue isn't burned off when you drink it. Of course, ur throat, nose, nose hairs, stomach, intestines, and liver will feel the pain. 

So go out, get some berries, this could get pretty interesting.
