Does work, leaves hole in pocket Dec 06, 2009
By Tim Arnold
I hosted a Flavor Tripping party at my university with about 60 people using these tablets. Needless to say, the tablets are quite a bit more sketch than offering berries, but considerably easier to obtain. The taste of the tablet isn't great, but isn't so bad anyone spit it out. After dissolving, I had a variety of foods for tasting available... about 95% of those who tried it seemed to enjoy it and have a noticeable difference with their taste buds. Some foods that worked well from my experience:
- Grapefruit (this was by far the most impressive)
- Lemons
- Limes
- Apple Cider (nearly became too sweet to drink)
- Orange Juice (tasted particularly good)
- Vinegar (might give you a stomach ache, but hammers home the idea of how warped your tastes are)
Many other foods had little or no effect (as expected): pretzels, chocolate, monster energy drink, peanuts, mints, etc. One or two were uncomfortable with what the tablets did to their taste buds and refused to sample anything more. Was not a big deal as it wears off in 15-30 minutes.
Final verdict: A very fun one time treat, but far too expensive to use for anything other than parties. Amazon will get these tablets to you quickly, but if you have time before your event I would try to obtain some actual berries to avoid the sketchy factor.

 Miracle berries aside, these tablets are WEAK! Dec 14, 2009
By Shahin Nezam-tehrani

I decided to buy a packet of these to try because they are way easier to get than the actual berries, and a bit cheaper too. So mistakenly, I ordered the double pack, 2 packages for 30 bucks. TOTAL waste of money. Ive tried real berries once about 4 years ago, and they were pretty good. Granted, this isn't going to change your entire life perspective on food or anything, but some stuff does noticeably change, like lemons, grapefruit, beer, vinegar, etc...
Now skip ahead to last week. We got the packages of MBerry's, and they came decently quick (I think it took like 8 days?), so no complaints there. I opened the one package, and decided read the product description and such to make sure we did the tablets right. The sellers/manufacturers recommend eating a 1/2 to 1 tablet, and mention that you can eat a 1/2 and get the same effects for less time. BULL! We all took one tab, let it fully dissolve on our tongues, being pretty particular about letting them sit and the saliva being swooshed around..you know the whole 9 yards to make sure we got max bang for our buck. THEY SUCKED. After about 15 mins we started trying foods, and even the things like lemons, grapefruit, etc.. that work with normal berries felt like they were working at HALF strength! I could definitely tell the lemons were a little sweet, but they were also still tart! And this wasn't just me, similar if not worse effects reported by 5 other people!!!
Overall, I was really disappointed with these tablets. Total waste of money, especially now that im stuck with an extra box as well. Do yourself a favor and either A) Try another brand, or B) Get the read deal. Hopefully Ill be able to sell my unopened package on ebay or craigslist....or to any of you! So if your really set on a package, email me ill sell it to you for less than listed for sure! =)
Hopefully someone benefits from knowing ahead of time, because i was also under false impression from the amount of glowing reviews, which all turned out to be PHONY. WATCH OUT AND SAVE YOUR MONEY FOR SOMETHING THAT WORKS!!!

 Great fun! Aug 23, 2009
By J. McPhail

We tried this with grapefruit, lemons, limes, and sour candy. We will definitely be trying this again with more of the food that is listed in the description. Everyone seems to have their own reaction to miracle fruit, varying sensitivity but most people had a very positive experience after taking a whole tab, not just half. When you let it dissolve on your tongue it's a bit gross as it is mostly corn starch, but that passes quickly. We will definitely be buying this product more and having more "flavor tripping" parties, and I would recommend that anyone tries it at least once.

Miracle Berry May 07, 2011
By budding wordsmith
I had a very interesting experience with this product. And all of the claims are pretty true. But i will advise that the more liquids you try, the faster they wear off. My expirements with these tablets lasted about two hours. My group tried full tabs and i think that was a mistake; i would recomend a half. These tantalizing taste changers only work on sour things. P. S. -try some ice cold lemon juice, it tastes delicious.
