- Strawberries and blueberries are my life.
(bright acoustic guitar music)
- (singing) Special Edition.
- [Female Interviewer] Maddox, do you ever eat berries?
Yes you do.
- How dare you. - What kind of berries
do you eat?
- Raspberry, blueberry, I forget the other berry.
Blackberries!
- [Female Interviewer] Ah.
So I have a friend.
- Really?
- [Female Interviewer] Yes.
And she brought me some berries, we picked from
the Butterfly House at the Pacific Science Center.
And they're not just regular berries.
They are Miracle Berries.
(laughing)
- What does the magic do?
- [Female Interviewer] It has the power to change
the way you taste food.
- (laughs) Yeah right.
Magic is not real.
- [Female Interviewer] You don't believe me?
- There are no magical berries, that change your taste.
(talking over interviewer) Only you could change your taste.
- [Female Interviewer] Close your eyes.
- (clicks tongue) There's no such thing as a magical berry.
You're s--
- [Female Interviewer] Well this is a Miracle Berry.
Okay, open your eyes.
Does it look magical?
- No, it looks like a poison berry.
- [Female Interviewer] I guarantee, it's not poisonous.
- (chortles) Do you really think
that's gonna change everything?
- [Female Interviewer] Not everything, but it will change
the way you taste food.
Just swirl all of the berry, all over your mouth.
- Hmmm.
It tastes just like a cherry.
- [Female Interviewer] Alright, let's bring out
the food to try.
(clunking)
So Maddox, what do lemons normally taste like?
- Sour.
Wait, okay, this is either the magic, or you changed
the flavor of the lemon.
- [Female Interviewer] We did not change the flavor
of the lemon, I swear.
- To God.
- [Male Interviewer] Yeah, you can
inspect the lemon. - Yes
- [Male Interviewer] Look at it.
- [Female Interviewer] These are all normal fruits
that we just cut, okay?
(smacking)
(flurrying flute music)
(interviewer laughing)
- This is orange!
- It's a lemon! - What color is it?
(laughs)
- This is a orange (laughing).
This tastes like a orange.
- You changed the flavor, didn't you?
- No. - We're not trying
to trick you.
This is real miracles working.
- Trickin' me.
- That is a magic fruit.
(smacking)
- Sweet, really sweet.
Kind of bitter. - Limes are not sweet.
Could it be the Miracle Berries?
(fluttering flute music)
- Mmmm, I guess.
- It tastes kinda like raspberries.
- This is just plain, just really yummy.
- The taste is so good.
(smacking)
- That's better than a normal strawberry.
(smacking)
- [Female Interviewer] The Miracle Berries have miraculin.
And what it does, it makes sour food taste sweet.

- Yeah.
(smacking)
- Sugar rush.
(fluttering flute music)

(yelling)
(chewing)
- How long does this magic last?
- [Female Interviewer] Only 15 minutes.
- Oh no, I think the magic is fading away.
Can I have another one?
(female interviewer laughing)
- [Female Interviewer] Okay, now that you've tried it
with fruit, now we're gonna try it with
some other weird stuff, okay?
- [Kid] Mmm.
Inside the bowl, you'll have sour candy,
there's Sour Patch Kids.
- It even changes the effect of Brussels sprouts?
- [Female Interviewer] We wanna see.
You're our guinea pig.
- (sighs) Thanks.
(gasps)
(smacking)
- What the heck?

- Oh, my golly.
This tastes like peanuts.
- It does taste like peanuts to me.

Cheese.
- It taste-es like raspberries.
(smacking)
The olives taste like blueberries.
- [Female Interviewer] So now, do you believe in the magic
of the Miracle Berries?
(smacking)
- I believe.
(fluttering flute music)
- Yeah, cool.
- Wait.
What is this?
- [Female Interviewer] That's balsamic vinaigrette.

They're getting sour now.
