looks like the real thing

so i was looking up this berry dubbed the "miracle fruit". the characters on united states of tara were eating it, and i wanted to see if it was real.

supposedly if you eat one, it makes anything you eat that's sour taste sweet for 15-30 minutes.

according to cnn health, it "has the color of a cranberry, the shape of an almond and tastes like a flavorless gummy [...] lemons lose their zing and taste like candy. oranges become sickeningly sweet. hot sauce that usually burns the tongue tastes like honey barbecue sauce that scorches as it trickles down the throat.".

it could also apply to alcoholic beverages. or a potential dietary supplement for sugar.

coolest. fruit. ever.

so of course i looked up where i can try this berry.
you can order them...

for the low low price of $2 to $2.50.

PER BERRY.

so much for that.
