I’m assuming that miracle fruit fever will hit shortly. It probably has already. Local news coverage of the miracle fruit, miraculin, and flavor tripping have been coming up a lot lately. They all open with a brief explanation of the miracle fruit’s origin, and miraculin’s effects on the taste buds. Then they show clips of various people marveling over how sweet lemons taste. One thing I’d like to see would be people trying bizarre concoctions: tabasco, vinegar, key lime smoothies.
Here’s another video of S. Florida news coverage. I have yet to see
coverage that doesn’t feature Curtis Mozie. The man is getting so much
attention…and making so much money.
