It was interesting, but not amazing. If you didn't tell me what I was actually eating, it would have been far less interesting.
It temporarily blocks the ability to taste many sour things. With sour blocked, many things taste much sweeter. For example, lemons have a fair amount of sugar, but the sourness of the citric acid overpowers the sugar, so we normally experience them as sour.
The berry made things taste different from how they normally taste, but it didn't create a taste sensation that I'd never had. All the sourness of a lemon was gone, but if you hadn't told me I was eating a lemon, I would have just thought I was eating a sweet citrus fruit.
Sugar without sour to balance it is actually pretty boring, once you get past the "I'm eating a lemon and it tastes sweet" excitement. Go drink some sugar water. Then drink some lemonade. If you put the berry in your mouth and then drank the lemonade, it would taste pretty much like the sugar water. Boringly sweet.

Dr. Oz didn't actually endorse that. They just took his likeness and used it without his permission. Now how much do you really trust someone who would do a thing like that?
