Drink water! Eat chocolate!
My wife played a great trick on me tonight. I was complaining about us not having any mineral water at home. She came back with a carafe filled with tap water and a small red shiny something floating at the bottom of the receptacle.
“Drink the water, eat the chocolate” she explained. Ah, sweet Swiss chocolate that red ball was. Would have been an unbearable waste to leave it in there.
Guess what: I did what I rarely do – followed her instructions. The strange thing about it: I don’t like that kind of Swiss chocolate at all but drank all of the water in one minute.
I will try to explore more applications of this very simple but all the more successful trick. If everything works well with old Pavlovs classical conditioning I’m afraid I’ll be drinking that water with anything red floating inside in the future.
