flavor tripping is the newest, rated-g experience for people that are sick of their beef roasts not tasting like cherry laffy taffy. a berry indiginous to west africa has led to the creation of "flavor tripping" parties in nyc and sf. for $15 admission, each person is handed a berry. the berry temporarily numbs your bitter and sour taste buds so everything tastes sweet. the effects last a couple of hours, and the aged hipsters may find themselves bored after spending 3 hours eating lemons and tobasco sauce.
apparently, raw oysters with lemons taste like chewing gum, tobasco tastes like donut glazing, and guinness tastes like a chocolate milkshake after chewing on the west african delight (that itself tastes like a bitter cranberry, according to those interviewed in the ny times article). the expensive berries are about $2.50 each and are very perishable. so, my minneapolis flavor parties will just include donut glaze, chewing gum, and chocolate milkshakes.
