Reflection on first tutorial experiments..

Of the three experiments we tried (eating an oreo, drinking lemon juice and drinking colored milk) I think it was the lemon juice that I found most helpful in clarifying the idea of giving someone an unexpected experience.

The experiment was simple and clearly filled the project brief. The idea of combining the senses of smell, taste and sight yet keeping to so practical made it easy to use and understand. 

It was obvious straight away what the unexpected feature of the project was as after smelling the scent of a raspberry/sugary smell and seeing the bright red liquid, you expected to taste a sweet drink, instead find it to be very tart.
I personally was very surprised to find it so bitter and sour despite having watched other people in the group do the experiment first and knowing what to expect.

The experiment with the milk was a good way of seeing the different effects of playing on our senses had on each of us individually. When we were told to choose and drink any of the colors I was most inclined to drink the white tester as it looked the most natural of all of them. However, others found the colored testers more appealing as they liked the idea that certain colours meant the liquid was flavored etc. This was a good way of showing how different people are inclined to go about experiments different ways when given options.
