Flavor Tripping Party Feedback ...

V. Gonzales of Hutto, USA's Flavour tripping party report!

4th August 2008

My inital experience about two weeks ago:


I tried out half a tablet; because I wanted to make sure it even worked before inviting a bunch of people over to try it.

First of all, not knowing what to expect, the tablet tasted somewhat sour and chalky, but not really all that bad.

After allowing it to dissolve completely all over my tongue, I started on my platter of options. Here were my results:

1. Granny Smith Apple - was almost too sweet, tasted like a candy apple.

2. Grapefruit - Still tasted like grapefruit but much sweeter. I liked it but I like sweetened grapefruit juice to begin with.

3. Strawberry - Too sweet. Tasted like sugar candy.

4. Olive, Pretzel - No effect.

5. Sour Gummy Worm - Tasted really good. Less sweet than strawberry.

6. Manchego, Idiazabal and Mozzarella cheese was actually less enjoyable and bland.

7. Mahon cheese was sweet and tasty.

8. Mustard - Same taste, just a little sweeter.

9. Thousand Island Dressing - Mmm. Sweet deliciousness. But I like Thousand Island to begin with.

10. Dill Pickle - Tastes like sweet pickle which I am not a big fan of.

11. Lemon - Big difference. I could eat a ton of these. But still have to be careful not to give yourself ulcers by eating too much acid.

12. Lime - WOW. Probably the biggest change in flavor. Yummy.

13. Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr Pepper - Tastes like "real" soda instead of artificially sweetened.

14. Young's Double Chocolate Stout - Perfect for dessert!

The effects lasted about an hour. I drank liquids last to ensure I would have enough time to taste everything before accelerating the dilution process with liquids.

My second experience was at a flavor tripping party I threw this last weekend. I had everyone jot down notes on their experience and I consolidated the unique results below:

Apple cider vinegar - Balsamic.
Balsamic vinegar - sweet balsamic, grape juice, sweet kool-aid, chocolatey
Bbq sauce - smoky sweet.
Carrots - no change.
Cheap Margaritas - good Margarita, top shelf.
Cheap tequila - good tequila.
Chipotle chips - same.
Clove cigarette - regular cigarette.
Corona - apple juice, very good not bitter, way better without lime, water.
Cottage cheese - salty, less cheese, same.
Cube libre - syrup.
Diet sodas - real sodas, sugary sodas.
Dill pickle - sweet pickle.
Dogfish IPA - mead, port.
Radish - no change, mushroom.
Ranch - no change.
Goat cheese - cream cheese.
Granny smith apple - very sweet, not tart, red apple.
Grapefruit - orange, grapefruit but much sweeter, no bitter aftertaste, only pulp has sourness, juice is sweet.
Green mangoes - sweet.
Mustard - sweeter.
Hot sauces - citrus sauces had most change.
Guinness with lemon sorbet - sweet dude! cherries.
Horseradish - sweet radish, sweet root, hotdog with mustard.
Hot wings - sweet and sour asian, slightly sweet and hot! chick like peanuts, wing sauce burns lips but not spicy on taste.
Ketchup - sweet sauce, same, apple butter, apple pie.
Lemons - Best candy ever, lemony sugar, lemonade.
Limes - sweet tangy delish, limeade, oranges, could eat a whole one.
Miraculin - flintstone, vitamin, cardboard, sweet, bitter.
Pickle juice - sweet, salty cucumber.
Plain yogurt - no change, sour cream.
Guinness - chocolate milk, milkshake, weak irish creme, car bomb, iced coffee, carbonated coffee.
Potato - slightly sweeter, sweet potato, caramel popcorn.
Rum and coke - water.
Brussel sprouts - same, potato, watercress.
Lemon head - froot loop, same.
Salsa - sweet! bbq sauce.
Sour gummy worm - superweeet.
Sour patch candy - sweet patch.
Strawberries - fake nutrasweet, supersweet, awesome, best ever! sugar covered strawberry.
Tabasco sauce - sweet with spice fire, spicy donut glaze.
Tomato - sweet cherry tomato, same.
Vinegars - different but disgusting, less acidity, sweet pickle juice.
Young's chocolate stout. tasty chocolate, yoohoo, campfire smores.

I'm a little surprised radishes and yoghurt didn't have a bigger change as they were recommended in some of the articles I read. Cottage cheese wasn't bad but I don't really know what it normally tastes like. Not all of the observations are my personal observations, they are a collaboration.

Since then, I have tried a quarter tablet and it lasted the duration of a meal (15-30 min). Adding dosage doesn't intensify the effect, just prolongs the effect so it makes sense to only use the minimal amount and take more as needed. For your first time, I would go ahead and use a half tablet to ensure you get the full experience. Make sure you include Tabasco, grapefruit, lemons, and lime as those have the biggest effect. You can give yourself ulcers if you eat a dozen lemons so be careful not to go crazy and overdo it.
