A photo of a girl posing in a park with what appears to be unusually long and skinny legs baffles people on social media. However, upon closer inspection, it turns out she’s holding a bag of popcorn that blends with the grass, creating the illusion.
“The circled part is the popcorn bag the girl is holding,” explains the solution image. Once the illusion is revealed, everything makes sense.
The photo goes viral with more than 250,000 shares and 37,000 comments on Facebook. While some quickly spot the answer, others struggle to identify the optical illusion.
The girl’s elongated legs were a result of the clever positioning of her popcorn bag against the grass, creating the humorous illusion. Despite her serious expression, she was probably enjoying a family day at a fair or festival.
“Maybe because they’re headed home and she wanted to ride the ferris wheel a few more times? Either that or her Dad just told a really bad Dad joke,” speculates the context around the photo.
Let’s share this delightful optical illusion on Facebook so others can enjoy the playful moment too.
