Deceptive Flavour

This was rather strange, what happened to me last night.

We (my family) had my little brother's friend over for the evening. During dinner, we had a delicious home-made Chinese, with Dim Sum, Sweet 'n' Sour Chicken; it was certainly mouth watering.

However, funnily enough, I was deceived not by the food, but rather the drinks I served out.

I had poured myself some Cola, before offering the guest and my mother (rude of me for pouring myself first, I slapped myself on the wrist for that) if they wanted some Tropical Fruit juice, which they happily obliged to, and with that I filled their glasses to the brim.

Now, when I took a drink of my Cola, I must've not been thinking about what it was, because for some strange reason, it tasted awful! So much so, I looked at the drink and thought "What am I even drinking?"

After establishing it was Cola, I took another swig to make sure it was, in fact, the soft drink.

It tasted like Cola again!

It must've been something psychological; maybe my head assumed I was drinking juice, so I was expecting something completely different?

Mistaking a glass of wine for your glass of cola is never fun >.<
[/quote]Oh, the times Wine deceived me. XD

To be honest, wines in general deceived my expectations. My first drink I was looking forward to I perceived as a sugary/sweet treat. :I

...So, sort of like...

There are two soft drink cups (with lids) in the cup-holder. You know one is yours, and it contains delicious lemonade. The other, however, contains Sprite. And you hate carbonation. So, after examining them for a minute, you determine the one on the right is your lemonade. You are very confident with your decision, and take a big sip.

You slightly lurch forward, cheeks full of liquid. Time seems to slow down around you as you think...

You sir, are cool

On topic, I remember a time where I got a doughnut, it looked exactly like a glazed doughnut but it was called something else. Didn't taste like a doughnut at all and I hated it.
