the brain plays tricks

[ivantheterrible]

i got thristy. went to the fridge to get a drink of cold water. looked at the jug of milk first and then grabbed the water and took a drink. my brain said, you are drinking milk, but only for a second.
some time ago a friend handed me a plain white piece of candy and said it was flavored like blueberries. i only tasted sugar. i told him so, and he said, you are one of the few who don't respond to verbal messages of what something is or not. i wonder if he showed me a picture of blueberries first, would it have tasted like blueberries?

Hypnotists use it all the time.
