Disappointment

It makes good drinks bad and bad drinks funny;
It's the Game of Disappointment.

All you need to play is a beverage in an opaque cup with a lid . . . and your imagination. Here's how to play:

Pick up the cup. Whatever beverage is in the cup, imagine that it's something else. Concentrate. Focus. Then drink. Try and be disappointed! Play by yourself, or with friends. Whoever is most disappointed wins.

Note: This game works best if the beverage is one you do not like. You also must know what the beverage in the cup is to play; knowing what it is is what makes it so challenging to imagine that it's something else. It is also acceptable to know - and then forget - the type of beverage in the cup, but it is difficult to make yourself forget something, instantaneously and on purpose. Plus, it takes away from the challenge. Bottom line?

NOT KNOWING WHAT THE DRINK IS IS AGAINST THE RULES UNLESS YOU GENUINELY FORGET.

WARNING: Not responsible for burns/toothaches due to imagined temperature difference. Imagine with caution.
