Synsepalum dulcificum (Miracle Fruit)
The so-called “miracle fruit” may look normal, but it has one very unusual property: it has the ability to make sour foods taste sweet. If you chew one miracle berry before a meal, you’ll notice that vinegar begins to taste as sweet as apple cider, and lemons become candy-like. This seemingly drug-like effect has given rise to “flavor-tripping parties,” in which groups of people chew miracle fruit and then marvel at the sweet flavors of “sour” foods.

I forgot about this magical fruit. Must find.
