So, after yesterday‘s less-than-stellar trial, today I came armed with several things to try that would be more appropriate to test the properties of the pills. Yesterday I only had my lunch and it was not really geared towards the type of thing that the fruit is supposed to affect. Also, as pointed out in the comments by someone from ThinkGeek, the fats in my cheese and oatmeal cream pie were working against me and breaking down the proteins that make the whole thing work.
Trial II was nothing short of a rousing success! You have to get a hold of these things, it was as amazing as I could have hoped it would be!!
1) A lime – Absolutely delicious! I tried it before hand to make sure it was not some secret delicious sweet variety of limes and I assure you, it was very sour. After letting the tablet dissolve, the lime was just so sweet and delicious and sugary like candy. The weirdest part was that you could feel a feeling of citrus in your mouth but you couldn’t taste it as sour. Very odd.
2) A plum – I had to prove that yesterday’s delicious plum wasn’t a fluke. Sure enough, it was super ripe and sugary tasting.
3) A tangerine – This was crazy. It was so sweet I almost couldn’t eat it.
4) A cherry – Mostly like a cherry still, but definitely sweeter, almost like cherry pie.
We had about 4 people from work trying it and every one agreed it was pretty cool. One person was impatient and chewed his tablet and he didn’t notice any difference. So the lessons learned are:
1) Make sure you dissolve it fully on your tongue.
2) Make sure you have the appropriate items to try (i.e. sour things and fruit).
3) Sweet things don’t really get sweeter, so don’t bother with those.
There are several items I would still like to try such as Tabasco sauce and sour cream. The guy from ThinkGeek also recommended beer. I would absolutely try it again at home when I could gather some more items together.
As a side note, why do people from companies only comment when I bash their products? 🙂
…cause beneath all our bluster and histrionics, we’re really deeply needy and just want to be liked. 🙂
