Generally, any sour food will taste sweet, while any already sweet food will taste intense.

Lemons/Limes A must try. Very sweet, allows you to taste pure lemon/lime flavor.
Granny Smith Apples Great candy-apple flavor, sweet.
Mangoes Creamy and sweet, a favorite.
Wine Gives a slight boone's farm sugary taste to any wine.
Strawberries Taste as if you have left them in sugar overnight, a favorite.
Vinegar Apparantly very sweet and tasty.
Goat Cheese Like cream cheese frosting.
Grapefruit Kills most of the tartness.
Tea/Coffee Noticeably kills the bite, especially in coffee.
Stout Beer (Guiness) A sweeter, milkier smooth flavor that some describe as milkshake-like.
Red Bull Tastes like candy soda. VERY sweet.

Grapefruit Kills most of the tartness.

Hmmm... this could be a godsend to those who have wives that bitch about giving head...
