Get At These Magic Berries, For Charity

Ever heard of magic berries? You know, the kind of berries that make sour foods taste sweet, as if by magic, but really by chemistry? We'll venture a guess that if you have heard of them, you've always wanted to give them a whirl. This Friday at 4 p.m. in Huntsman 270, the BBB Society is hosting a Magic Berries Charity Event, marking what we bet is one of the first times you'll be able to simultaneously promote a good cause while screwing around with your taste buds.

For a $3 donation to the Delaware Valley Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association, you can have a berry and some sour food to play with. Be sure to also stick around for the educational component: Penn neuroscience professor Dr. Mike Kaplan will be explaining the science behind the freaky fruit.
