There are many optical illusions that can be made specifically to trick our minds. But sometimes these visual tricks happen by chance — like a cake that looks exactly like a sponge or a tortilla that looks like the moon — and we don’t necessarily notice them at first glance.
Bright Side has compiled a list of these deceptive images that will make you question reality from now on and prove that your eyes can’t be trusted.
1. “I almost ate a praying mantis that was in my salad!”
2. An edible AirPod
3. Believe it or not, this is a cake.
4. Bottomless Converse
5. This theatre looks like a laptop at first glance.
6. A square portal in a brick wall
7. “Was wondering why this guy was staring at me from his car. Turns out, it’s an advertisement on the car behind it!”
8. Not the moon, just a tortilla...
9. This part of a tree stump looks like a small wooden metropolis.
10. Not a dragon egg, just ham!
11. “I overcooked an egg and it looks like a person is trying to climb out of it.”
12. Delicious rubberbands that are actually noodles
13. Spider-tea, spider-tea...
14. This iceberg shark rock
15. Don’t eat this strawberry frosting — it’s actually just spackling paste.
16. Very dangerous not-carrot sticks made out of potassium tetrachloroaurate
17. You shouldn’t eat these grapes, they’re actually botryoidal chalcedony minerals.
