More literal effect to the Berry Sludge?

[Nero Darkard]

True, Berry Sludge is pretty expensive, requiring both Bristle Berries and Sleet Wheat. But the results are pretty great. Infinite shelf life and high food quality, while all you need is a Microbe Musher.

But perhaps this food item might be too good for a tier 1 food generator outcome? Infinite shelf life is very powerful and can act as a high quality emergency food. The description of Berry Sludge states, though, that it is so intensely sweet, it can numb the taste buds for a while.

I think this should not only stay in the description of the food item, but actually be an effect. Something along the lines of:

Numbed Taste Buds: After eating a super sweet Berry Sludge, Duplicants can't taste anything anymore, at least for a while.

(All following food items cosumed will be viewed as Grisly Quality by the Duplicant for 2 Cycles)

A well built base with lots of decor can easily counteract the effect of lousy meal and perhaps this gives an interesting minor challenge in the distribution of Berry Sludge and not just mass produce it.

ehhh.. better would be a not so negative outcome (that in certain instances could ultimately turn out to be fatal) maybe a sugar rush followed by a sugar crash?  + speed(athletics) and -stress%  then the crash - speed/urgent need to sleep/desire to have more berry sludge
