Our Eyes Deceive Us

Laura did a science experiment the other day on how what we see can alter our perception of things.  For instance, two simple glasses of lemonade.  One had some red food coloring added.  Did they taste the same?
According to Laura, they tasted different.  Laura insisted the one with the food coloring was more sour.  It was a good lesson.
