Scores of Twitter users openly admitted that the image had left them puzzled, their intrigue lingering until they delved into the comments section.

Yet another contributed, “It took me 25 minutes to see she’s holding a bag of popcorn.”
Responses to this popcorn-induced spectacle came pouring in from individuals who admitted that even after unraveling the illusion, they continued to struggle to perceive the image in a different light.
