I looove these! They do work. Lemons, however, did NOT taste like toffee. Just like sweet lemons. I thought the tablets themselves tasted nice. Orange juice was SO sweet and red wine tasted lovely. I tried balsamic vinegar and that tasted niiice. Apples were like apples but sweeter. Basically, it just sweetens everything. Worth a try though! I can see these being very useful for a diabetes sufferer.

Omg, they WORK! We just had our first taste tripping experience the day the Miracle Fruit tabs arrived, and WOW! I went straight for lemon for the first experiment... A brief lick and then I chowed it down with ease. It wasn't like toffee nor lemonade but somewhat like a mix of the two - and no sourness whatsoever! Lime was up next, it had an exotic taste, my other half reckons like coconut, I found it hard to describe though. Again, eaten with relish :-) Strawberries were like strawberries, but as if dipped in a sugar glaze, and kiwi was just too much, it was like eating pure sugar; if I'd closed my eyes I would not have been able to identify it, the luscious intensity was incredible. I did the vinegar test too, just a small amount in a glass - problem was it still smelt like vinegar... A tiny drop on my tongue and it was fairly pleasant and probably very drinkable but when it reached my throat I could feel the acidity and stopped there. Guinness was, surprisingly, just like chocolate milkshake to me (not so much to gf though, but still very different). I'd read on Firebox that it was like choc milkshake but tasting it for real beggars belief! Lastly, pineapple is intense, melon was like melon, and apple was like sweet apple but it may have been wearing off by then. In the end we had to stop, it felt like we'd eaten a ton of Haribo, even though everything was relatively healthy... We didn't dare open the free sweeties Firebox sent too! The rest of the pack I am saving for when we next have guests for dinner, for dessert I'll roll out a tray of lemons, vinegar and Marmite, and just when their puzzlement shows I'll crack out the Miracle Fruit tablets... All in all the "Miracle" name is very fitting - buy some and be astounded!

These things are amazing. Lemons, as said by someone else, taste of sweet lemons. Orange juice is incredibly sweet, and jam is just too much! Tomato Ketchup is pretty vile, mind you! Chillies make the pain sweeter - but they are still red hot.

Wow, these are pretty weird. I read about them in the news a while back but trying them is something else. It tends to effect the back of your tongue more than the front but its something you've got to try. It works the other way too, I just burped and it was lovely!

These things are pretty awesome. Had an experiment with a couple of different things, but to me they don't really taste like anything different, just really, really sweet. Fizzy energy drinks, like Relentless are great with these! I also thought chilli powder was quite nice, but it's still hot once you've swallowed it!

These are interesting little things, thought I should mention something that no one else has however. The actual tablets taste foul, really really foul. If you can stand to get past the tablet they are pretty good though, you can literally suck a lemon and it's not a bad thing. I've just put the kettle on for a nice cup of (hopefully) sweet coffee with no milk and sugars.

Yay, first time i've ever bought something off firebox as soon as it came out, these things are gonna sell like hot cakes. I can just imagine me and some dudes popping these sitting on a wall sucking lemmons.

Kaboooomm! -That was my taste buds exploding with flavour. As scepticle as I was about taking one of these little red dangerous looking pills when they arrived this morning, mainly for the reason of "if they dont work, £9. 95 down the pan *coughs cheapskate*" I took one anyway. Another thing I was worried about is what they would taste like, but they have a sort of mixed berrys flavour that is quite pleasent actually. Thats when I went to my freezer, got out the jif lemon zest, poured myself a little glass, and hesitantly drank a little. It tasted refreshingly like sweet lemon froth - whatever that is. I was amazed, ive now tried it with apples pears and the one that everyone wants to try first. . Vinegar, which I have to say the smell puts you off a bit when your holding the bottle upside down over your mush. But an excellent quality product which is really fun and enjoyable...Do I want to share? hmmmm....

These did not work for me. Like most people, I tried with a lemon, and that's what it tasted of. No toffee, no "froth", just lemon. Tablets are definitely "in date" and used as directed on the box. Possibly some other people may find this, but I appear to be in the minority by the looks of the other reviews.
