Flavor Trip!

The trip of the moment is not via plane but one for your taste buds and perhaps a trick for your mind! On Tuesday, our wonderful intern, Amanda, sat us down for a mid morning snack and none of us quite knew what we were in for but it was certainly an experience! After sucking on a tablet for only a minute, a lemon became the most delicious thing we had ever tried and hot sauce was actually bearable in large amounts. That tablet contained the native South African miracle berries, which have started a fad throughout the country as they transform taste buds in a way that turns bitter and sour to sweet. This all natural berry surely has super powers!
After a discerning taste test, our courageous team of miracle berry “guinea pigs” determined flavor tripping to be the ultimate party activity! Guests can sample an array of sour and bitter foods before and after the miracle tablet and gawk at the difference. An experience enhanced by those in awe around you, not only will you entertain guests and provide endless conversation, but it is guaranteed to be memorable occasion for all. So go ahead, let us make your event a little sweeter for you.
