This reminded me of something that happened to me the other night: a friend handed me what looked like a rum and coke (but was actually a Trappist beer) and said "try this".

My first reaction was one of revulsion, because my brain was expecting a mixed drink. After he told me it was beer, I tasted it again and found it very enjoyable.

Funny how expectations can completely alter your experience.
