ThinkGeek Now Selling Miracle Fruit Tablets

Filed under: Hacks

If you’re not familiar with Miracle Fruit, allow me to enlighten you. It’s a small, red berry that turns your taste buds up a notch. Sour things will taste sweet and sweet things will taste insanely sweet. Normally, these berries are a rare find in the US and the few Internet retailers that carry them are backordered like a motherfucker. Solution? ThinkGeek.

Unlike other retailers, ThinkGeek is only backordered until next week. But these Miracle Berry Fruit Tablets are essentially a powdered form of the fruit. No more worrying about the freshness of the berries. Just pop one in your mouth and let the fun begin. At $20 for 10 tablets, it’s not the cheapest fun around but it’s way better than a $100 minimum order. Try eating your own excrement and see if it tastes like peanut butter ice cream!

We wish paralysis on no human being, but that doesn’t mean we can’t envy them! Frankly, the Gravitonus created Alternative Computer Control System (ACCS) looks pretty amazing. The ACCS system constantly monitors the body position, temperature, and pressure on different body parts.

The ACCS is already being effectively used with Spinal Cord Injury patients, and could revolutionize the way disabled geeks can interact with the world. The patient controls the game through a special control piece made to be manned by a person’s tongue and mouth. We suppose healthy gamers could benefit from this thing too. Who knows what the future has in store for ACCS. — Andrew Dobrow
