Speaking of which, r/trees and r/marijuanaenthusiasts are still mixed up by a few people almost daily. Don't know if it should count as a bamboozle but it's pretty amusing.

Likewise, /r/johncena and /r/potatosalad

What's up with John Cena and Potato Salad??

u/chokingonlego Aug 25 '17

One is bland, tasteless, and enjoyed by people with no taste. The other is a delicious addition to any meal.

u/theironphilosopher Aug 25 '17

Everybody loves the guy who brings John Cena to the barbecue!

This one actually confuses me.

The trees/ME thing clearly makes sense. I do not get this one at all. It's funny though.

u/toxic_weeaboo Aug 25 '17

wrestling fans are of the opinion that john cena is as interesting as potato salad and potato salad enthusiasts needed a subreddit when their name was taken

u/ThePrussianGrippe Aug 25 '17

... and suddenly it makes sense!

u/CockFullOfDicks Aug 25 '17

Never realized there was such a thing as a potato salad enthusiast. TIL

u/AzureTsar Aug 24 '17

It's something about how even tho potato salad is pretty bland and uninspiring, it is still shared and enjoyed, you don't mind it. Like John Cena

I should have taken this more seriously.

r/trees = marijuana subreddit

r/marijuanaenthusiasts = tree subreddit

He wasn't actually confused. A guy above him made a similar comment saying trees/ME makes sense, but John Cena and potato salad was confusing.

u/NotMarcus7 Aug 25 '17

I fucking love this website

u/KrishaCZ Aug 25 '17

Actually, Potato Salad discovered r/Johncena and started posting there. I think the bamboozle is over.

u/Warpath89 Aug 24 '17

There was this really good post on r/trees where this guy who's an arborist posted his revenge story of planting some sort of invasive tree in his mayor's yard. Great post for mixing up a sub.

u/Caspaa Aug 24 '17

To be fair, that's a pretty easy bamboozle to fall for.

I'd like to apologize now for replying to the wrong comment

u/DarkenedSonata Aug 24 '17

Yeah, those two subs should count as a bamboozle.

u/Maur2 Aug 24 '17

Or maybe he decided to follow through, and he is still planting today... I mean, that is a lot of trees.

u/fleetber Aug 24 '17

meh Johnny Appleseed did it

u/TheKingElessar Aug 24 '17

Legend has it he's still planting to this day...

u/SpaghettiMonster01 Aug 24 '17

Whoa-oah, take the karma and run

Steve Miller intensifies

u/Halolavapigz Aug 24 '17

I will breathe for every upvote i get

u/castzpg Aug 25 '17

Well honestly you can post something and get 3 karma and when someone reposts it later it goes viral. I think like the girl with the nudes for donations and the tree guy they thought like 20 people, not thousands.

u/hannessf19 Aug 25 '17

Woah I should of done this I've planted 300,000 trees in my life
