The fresh berries do have an after taste to them, but the after taste is in the seeds. what I do is just mush them around in my mouth and not chew, or you can just let the berries sit overnight and the after taste will be gone the next day. Like Bookmark March 16, 2011 at 7:19PM.
Not all liquids are good at capillary action. If a liquid's cohesive forces are stronger than its adhesion to another surface, it's not going to happen. Mercury is a good example of this. It is very strongly attracted to itself and will not climb the sides of a glass tube, or anything else really.
You'll notice that the water stays together in the pool, rather than flattening out across the countertop. (This happens because of cohesion and surface tension.) Now gently dip the corner of a paper towel in the pool of water. The water adheres to the paper and climbs up the paper towel. This is called capillary action.
