I would like to taste test the taste testers.

What could be better? Curious, hungry, and willing to experiment. Now roll that seed around in your mouth and get it all over your tongue.

Nothing sexier than a woman putting something in her mouth with mild reservations.

You know, I hate to point out the political implication of this for all the big government libs and neo-cons who support the FDA and centralized control in the market in general. Read the article. The FDA is comprised of humans. The intention is for those humans to test and ban unsafe products based on ongoing and unbiased research because it is assumed that it would be worse if you were allowed to choose. The humans do their job 70% of the time, all the while delaying good drugs for approval resulting in untold numbers of deaths, but also saving a number of people as well. Now we see, as was the case for Stevia, established artificial sweetener companies with chemical patents bribing these humans and funding phony research to product and assure them exclusivity in the market. The system, based on a faulty idealistic presumption not accounting for human behavior, acted out of personal benefit rather than the benefit of you and me, the direct opposite of what's expected of it. Socialism fails folks, because it offloads all of your own responsibilities to a centralized and corruptible force.

The BBC piece is rather peculiar...

If you don't get FDA approval or can't afford it these days a startup can plan to go abroad; trial it in Portugal or Italy or wherever gives you approval, and use the success to encourage more investment to pay for FDA hoops while simultaneously demonstrating how people are benefiting and not being killed; expand to other nations (Japan, Australia, U.K., Canada,...) and hey, they're making money now... the U.S. likes money... boom, FDA approval.

I tried this in Mexico. Chewed on the berry for a bit, which was practically tasteless, and then sucked on a lemon. It was completely sweet, I couldn't taste any sourness at all. Pretty amazing.

i actually tried getting this at Garden of Eden (Union Square). It's about $20 dollars for 1 single berry. But they always run out of stock.

I've yet to taste this

Here's an update for you skeptics:

I ordered those from thinkgeek and by george they work. Lemons never tasted like such sweet nectar before. I'm addicted. Ok? Enjoy!

^ Yeah, OK, we get it laura, go ahead, tell your man how we envy him a great deal.

This is more than interesting to me. In fact, I am sure it will be coming to a point of obsession soon.
