First time hearing of miracle berry, will absolutely give it a shot. Here's some feedback about the idea, hopefully helpful. :) Pricing seems really tough for me. In general my meals are around the £1-3/serving range, when cooking at home. adding 33-100% cost to my meals regularly is a deal breaker. As a curiosity I'll absolutely be interested to try this out - probably as a lockdown tastetest "date night". To me, that is a much more viable niche for this product, and thus I'd be in the £10 range for the product. You stress 30s versus minutes like that is a deal breaker. I'm not confident this as strong of a selling point as you think - at least not for me. Site looks nice, and the free UK shipping is awesome! > NATURAL Please, as a neuroscientist - who therefore also studied biochemistry as part of their degree - don't use this word in this way. All things are natural (what is "unnatural"? Ectoplasm?) and you know that there is nothing inherently wrong or different about synthetic compounds.

I hear you on the pricing. This is probably something you'll do once or twice a day if you make a routine out of it. I intend to get the prices down at scale, but when you put it against other consumer products (RXbar, starbucks coffee, etc) it turns out to be not so bad. 30s (maximum) vs 5 minutes (minimum) - I think you'd get it after you sat down and tried it. I'm getting feedback that it is a dealbreaker and why my product is superior. In an A/B test, people literally gave up on the pills because they got bored. Imagine what 5 minutes means if you're rushing to get to work. Natural - It's all about marketing. While you are right, that's not what 99% of Americans believe and they all specifically search for natural products. The fact that this odd effect comes from a fruit I think is important because it is perceived safer than if it was a synthetic compound causing these taste changes.
