Sometimes, a thing really looks like something else. Then, when you look at it for a bit longer, you realize that it isn’t quite what you thought. Which is, frankly, how this list was born.
Looks can be deceiving . Our eyes love to play tricks on us, too. If you think the pics in this list are one thing, think again.
This tree full of dead leaves and it’s trying to look like it’s still full of life.
You kind of have to look closely here, but yeah, those leaves are pretty dead. The nerve of this tree, trying to look all lively, as if there isn’t a dusting of snow on the ground in this picture too.
“This circular shaped popcorn.”
I don’t like how spherical this popcorn looks. It doesn’t even look like popcorn. It looks like a really tiny disco ball or something like that. Or like a really weird earring.
This very wilted ceiling fan.
Sure, the light has a flower motif, but it’s looking a little more like it’s wilted than anything else. I wonder if it’s supposed to be like that, or if it got stuck in a heatwave for a little bit.
“Turkey Joint Candy. Candy that looks like Turkey joints.”
It really does look like this person is holding a jar full of bones or joints or something. I’m not sure if this is unexpected, or if this is something we should’ve expected.
“Both ends of my toothpick are not sharp.”
That’s not a toothpick. It’s a chopstick, or a matchstick. Or…a stick. But definitely not something I’d want to use to clean food out of my teeth. It’s definitely way too dull for that.
This restaurant in an old bank that… just looks like a bank.
For a split second, I was all like, “why are there so many tables and chairs in this bank?” But then I realized it’s just a restaurant that used to be a bank. I guess there’s no point in getting rid of the vault, huh?
Uh… yeah, I don’t even know what this is.
To be honest, I don’t know what we’re supposed to be looking at here. It’s a mannequin being picked up by a giant mosquito with a fork in one hand? Still, it feels appropriate to leave it in this list.
“The drain cover at this airport has the shape of a plane designed into it.”
As cool as this is, I’m totally seeing a really displeased face in that drain. Like, the two wheel things on each side look like angry eyes, and the plane looks like a nose. I don’t know what I did for this thing to give me such a death glare!
This carrot looks suspiciously like a finger.
You know how when someone in a TV show accidentally cuts their finger off and they have to put it in a bag of frozen vegetables to transport it to the hospital? This carrot is giving me that energy, and I don’t like it.
“Think I’ve just found the WR longest Arby’s swirly fry.”
Oh, please. I’m sure there are wayyy longer curly fries than this one. Though, it is pretty impressive that it stayed this long without breaking. It honestly kind of looks like a lock of hair.
That definitely doesn’t look like it says poke…
The way that sign was put on top of that other sign makes it look like it’s advertising for puke rice bowls and salads. I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t want to be ordering that…

This Sour Patch Kid that’s shaped like a heart… and a boot?
How can one thing look like two things, but neither of those things are what the thing is supposed to look like? This Sour Patch Kid is doing its best to look like anything but a Sour Patch Kid.
The way all these split oranges look like tiny heads.
These oranges look like little eye-less faces that are laughing for some reason. Are they laughing at me? What embarrassing thing did they catch me doing? It could’ve literally been anything!
This wind turbine blade that kind of looks like a giant kite.
Does this giant blade not look like one of those kite/flag things? Like, it’s just a curved piece of metal (?), but it almost looks like it’s fluttering in the wind. It’s like the truck is pulling it around for fun.
“The playground equipment looks like a little peaking robot face from the roof.”
I’m sure that, when you’re actually in or near the playground, this part looks mostly normal. But right now, I feel like I’ve just been spotted by a sentry robot that’s about to shoot lasers at me.
“This disco-ball-looking flower in Australia.”
This plant is apparently called a Leichhardt Tree Nauclea orientalis. It’s also apparently not poisonous or dangerous in any way, even though it looks like a giant virus. In fact, it’s edible .
“A glass slipped out of my hand into another glass and broke. Somehow love how it looked!”
I mean, you probably shouldn’t drink out of a broken glass, even if it does look cool. This one looks like it has a whole mountain range inside of it, which is fun and all. But seriously, just throw that thing away.
This weird, wrinkly egg.
This egg looks more like a stress ball than an egg. It’s like it got printed wrong or something. What happened to the chicken that ended up laying this thing? How does this even happen?
“An industrial laundry dryer turned this pen into a banana.”
There’s no way that this banana thing was ever a pen. Like, it just looks like a banana. Not even a pen shaped like a banana, just a banana. I know better than to try and eat it, though.
“The inner side of my sock packaging label. Combined with the logo, it looks like a face where the holes of the connecting string are the eyes.”
I’m trying to tell whether or not the smiley face looks better or worse with the eye holes there. I mean, either way, it’s just strange.
