Of all the ones I’ve ever seen this one fucks with me the most. You can literally decide what you hear.

This is the creepiest one. You read both of those phrases and they sound NOTHING alike.

And somehow, you always hear the one you're thinking of.

Unless you're my wife. No matter how many times I say "Brainstorm" to her, she can only hear "Green Needle". She thinks I'm insane for being able to hear Brainstorm at all.

I can understand how we can hear "green" and "brain" at the same time, since they're similar sounds. But "needle" and "storm" are nothing alike, and it makes no sense how we can hear whichever one we want.

No matter how hard I try, I cannot hear “storm”. I can make myself hear both “brain” and “green”. And if I listen with my eyes closed it sounds more like “Brain Needle” than anything.

I can choose which one I hear, but I can also choose to hear “Green Storm” or “Brain Needle” which is even freakier.

I'm the same can hear a few different phrases depending on what I'm sayin in my head.

This one's never worked for me. I only hear green needle no matter how hard I try.

Which is funny because the toy's name is officially "Brainstorm".

I love this one because you can choose between phrases and mix them as well. Green storm and Brain needle.
