Answer 2

Yes, there is a fruit making the chic foodie rounds that they are calling Miracle Fruit.  Eating just a tiny slice of this fruit will turn anything sour that you eat in the next two to four hours into something sweet.  For example, fresh, raw lemon tastes like sweetened lemonade.

Be warned, the stuff is crazy expensive, unless you know a source or can grow it yourself.  By itself, it has very little flavor.
