One of my coworkers sometimes brings in homemade beer for us to try. He brings it in a big dark brown bottle, and pours just a few sips of it in paper cups so we can taste it.
Normally, I drink tea at work, but when he brings in beer, I rinse out my tea mug and have him pour the sample beer in my mug. Yesterday's brew was a dark amber, with a kind of chocolatey overtone. He filled my mug up about a third of the way, more than I would have poured for myself.
Well, I brought my mug back to my desk, and got back to work. I was sitting there, typing away, concentrating on whatever, when I reached for my mug. Having somehow forgotten that the brown liquid in my mug was NOT tea, I took a nice, big gulp ...
WHOA! Haha! Waaaake UP! Nothing like thinking you're drinking some nice warm black tea and getting home brew instead! Woo hoo! I was sputtering and laughing at my desk for the next two minutes until people started coming over to demand what all the noise was about.
I think that little surprise woke me up a lot more than my tea did.
