Going for a ride requires a lot of planning and enquiries and enjoying one self innocently.
Taken for a ride simple means duped.
We can think of many examples from an excursion package tour , to a simple
Television advertisement.
Let me use it as a television advertisement.
Milk is considered as a complete food, right? (if u say wrong I have more points of similarities with u .)
Now we have advertisers , who promote food supplements in tinned and bottled forms, with this vitamin( u can pick any alphabet ) and that mineral combinations and more, let us consider them as enrichments.
So MILK+ENRICHED FOOD = MORE ENRICHED MILK
Some thing like good +good = good ‘o’ good
This starts happening from the beginning of childhood and goes with us till our end days. U can always debate that we use it with water, not milk .
who decides on the proportions and how does it get digested.?
I think it is ‘being taken for a ride’ from this angle.
I am sure each one will have their own stories of being duped.

Good one, venkhat!
I agree with you that they're duping the anxious and health conscious with their 'vit/mineral enhanced' products.
I thank u for your encouragement, in words and in space.
