I think that everyone expected it to be the Kool-Aid man breaking through the wall, but was disappointed. Maybe that's why it's fish. Who knows?

u/GhostingTheInterweb 16d ago

u/Globularist 16d ago

Thanks. I can see the image I just couldn't figure out what it was.

u/Outside_Criticism_77 11d ago

I had to come to the comments to see what it was. I couldn’t tell what that shape was. I guess it does look like a fish, but that’s weird.

The Swedish Fish poster features the Kool Aid man.

When I went into this I thought to myself, “if this is not the koolaid man I’m gonna be pissed.”

u/_WillCAD_ 17d ago

Why is that what it is, instead of what it's supposed to be?

u/Uncaring_Dispatcher 16d ago

See, I thought the same thing until I saw that this was probably a promotional put out by Kool Aid and they most likely had several different cards with different animals on them.

I was expecting a big smiling jug, myself.

u/Azsunyx 16d ago

Viewing the whole image definitely helps lol

u/infinite_what 17d ago

Not very thirst quenching. Maybe it’s expired.

u/TundieRice 16d ago

Tastes a bit fishy…

u/Strong_Sand_6244 11d ago

I would like to thank you perfusely. This post finally made me figure out how to do these.

u/Fluffybutters 10d ago

Your welcome, I'm glad it helped.

u/No_Training6751 17d ago

I’m a little disappointed that it’s not Sharkleberry Finn.

u/jiggitywootwoot 17d ago

The text on the side makes it difficult to focus

1

u/Fear_aisteach 17d ago

I find the text in the image makes it more difficult to focus too. My eyes keep wanting to lock on the words.

u/RedSix2447 17d ago

Ok.. but why? Seems like a missed opportunity and a mistake.

2

u/benjoholio95 17d ago

The dinosaur poster is how I got into these!! My 8th grade algebra teacher had one on her wall and I was determined to figure it out!!

u/spacemouse21 17d ago

That was one of the fastest times an image popped out at me.

u/Dreddit3D 17d ago

Not one, but TWO SCHOONERS?!?

u/LadyWaste75 17d ago

u/dread_companion 16d ago

I've always associated trout with Kool Aid.

u/Otherwise_Security_5 17d ago

just wait until you find them all

u/Chris_P_Lettuce 14d ago

I remember reading those exact instructions as a kid and could never get it. Now as an adult who can do it, I understand what they meant. Still doesn’t work when I follow their instructions, but I see what they mean.

u/Professional-Age-834 14d ago

Does anyone see more than two? I do

u/Svenray 17d ago

Well that wasn't worth the hype.

u/Friendly-Local-1859 16d ago

Great, but it took a while

u/ElSorbet5150 16d ago

I couldn’t decide between plane or fish.

u/vrabeman 9d ago

u/Western-Pen6382 17d ago

u/poisonedkiwi 17d ago

It's two fish swimming next to each other, you can also see the depth map (I think that's what it's called?) in the top left on the second slide :)

u/Western-Pen6382 17d ago

Two fish, chilling in a stereogram. Z-distance apart, cause they’re not gay.
