A boat sailing in the ocean or a slice of cookies-and-cream pie? The image went viral after the photo sparked a fun debate about what is really seen at first glance.
“It’s impossible not to see it now”, comment people on social media who got hooked by the optical illusion. What started as a simple photo of a dessert ended up showing how easy it is to fool the brain by confusing the texture of the water with the background and the shape of the pie with the bow of a boat.
While thousands of users argue over seeing a boat breaking through the waves or a berry cheesecake, a third group says that now they’re craving something sweet.
