2. Not everyone sees it that way

Here's another view -

"I examined the can for several minutes while my food grew cold, wondering if my eyes were deceiving me. But there was no getting around it. To either side of the Pepsi logo, there was an image of a jet airliner over tall buildings. Looking at the image, I couldn't help but think it alluded to 9/11.

Three other soldiers were sitting with me at my table. One of the other soldiers asked what I was looking at so hard. Instead of answering, I handed him the can and said, "Look at the artwork on this can. Do you see what I see?"

He looked. His eyes grew wide. He turned the can from side to side. The other soldiers at the table looked, too. None of us said anything. The phrase "9/11" never passed from our lips. We could LOOK at each other and understand we all saw the same thing, a "sneaky allusion to 9/11."

Thank you! I couldn't remember and was too lazy to Google. Behind the Aegis Dec 2011 #8

This isn't quite pareidolia, but it's in the same venue. greyl Dec 2011 #18

That's sort o' clever, in that it can be seen as re-enforcing a particular belief. (nt) (nr) T S Justly Dec 2011 #4

What "belief" is it reinforcing? Behind the Aegis Dec 2011 #6

That two commercial airliners took down three NYC skyscrapers. (nt) T S Justly Dec 2011 #9

In what way does it reinforce that belief? Behind the Aegis Dec 2011 #10

In ways too subtle for some to comprehend. But you ask a good question ... T S Justly Dec 2011 #11

So you believe this is some type of psy-ops? If so, by whom? Behind the Aegis Dec 2011 #12

PepsiCo. (nt) T S Justly Dec 2011 #13

I have to ask....why would they even do something like this? Behind the Aegis Dec 2011 #14

Your guess is as good as mine. But it is Pepsi's can, their graphic, and their message. (nt) T S Justly Dec 2011 #15

That's a legitimate response. Thanks for taking the time to respond. n/t Behind the Aegis Dec 2011 #16

You're welcome. And, I thank-you in return. (nt) T S Justly Dec 2011 #17
