I have been really looking forward to this experience. I was expecting some minor changes in my taste, but what happened after I ate that tiny little pill left me speechless. I tried the lemon and the grapefruit first and could not stop laughing, as I couldn’t belief how what I was usually expecting to taste so sour and bitter could taste so good and sweet. I have been sharing and discussing my experience with a lot of friends. It is wired that in some way, the pill could be actually compared with drugs, as they are also changing your perception. I was also wondering why mostly unhealthy things taste that good and sweet and that it would be much more beneficial for humanity if healthy food would always taste that good.
