Someone made a mug of out of bacon.  They then proceeded to pour beer in it.  At first glance it looks really good but the beer at the top has changed color and foamed due to the bacon grease.

The person that made it probably took many more pictures like the one here.  I bet when he drank it the first couple of moments were good, but the longer it stayed in his mouth the more the beer-grease mix taste became unpleasant and he tried to convince himself it was good.  Not terribly unpleasant, but a little off.

It was his first time making it and it was rare, not many people do it and it was new to him.  In those kinds of situations, trying things for the first time, doing something a little unusual, we want to be successful.  We want to think we can change, cause, or make something new with the knowledge we’ve gained all our life, to prove that we are no longer immature and that we have control of everything around us.

Success in this case would have been if the beer and bacon combo drink tasted the same as what he imagined it would.  I would say that it tasted different than what he expected, alright but not pleasing enough to make again.  It was a failure, so he tried to avoid sadness and defeat by imagining the beer was good even though it was not.
