People can't seem to decide the colour of these flip flops

This has got us all wondering whether it is the same optical illusion

Last year a photograph of an off-the-rack dress broke the Internet, spawning arguments, memes and scientific explanations over its real colors.

Now, a pair of flip flops are freaking people out on the Internet.



It all started with a simple tweet that immediately gained momentum and in no time went viral.

Some people say the flip flops are black and blue, others are convinced they are black and brown. There’s also claims that they are white and gold, or blue and gray or even white and gray.

However, it appears to be the same optical illusion that occurred with the viral dress. Havaianas confirmed to BuzzFeed News that the flip flops in the picture are in fact blue and dark blue.
