that's really funny that this is the illusion of the day. we were just talking about subliminal messages in my psychology class and the camel was one of them. only my teacher said it was a man with an erection.

I'd like to see the Coca Cola illusion.. come on.. post it, or send me an email with it pierojunk@gmail.com I'm 22 yrs old

That is most definitely pimpin...I have never noticed it.

Weird, I only see those two first comment in my comment box and not on the page.... Well, kewl. I haven't commented before on any illusions, the site is great. i like the scariest optical illusion one. REALLY freaky. This illusion is cool, I don't look at the camel cigarette boxes, so I wouldn't know. (I never wanna smoke) It's cool. Never knew that simple items like that could be illusions. I'm wondering if those are photoshopped... Maybe not. Well, cool.

Ive actully known this for years now and I learned about it in Ad desgin class in higschool. Actaully its all about subliminal messages and to target a certain group of ppl. If you watch ppl who smoke camels you'll find that a good handful are women a target group perhaps. Oh and its not a young boy peeing its a man with an erection. Good to know that ppl finally notice this its just a perfect example of subliminal messages.

I think this is the coke one...

hi that was me that sent this in

it was this and a couple of other illusions

-r sharp

thats a quite kl illusion. kinda clever.

I don't think Photoshop was around yet when we first discovered Manneke Pis on these cigarette packages. My mother smoked them in the early seventies when we first discovered it. It's kinda nostalgic to see this post here and now, great!

OK, I agree this is a tad interesting. But as an illusion, per se, not. More accurately: an interpretation. I have two men here with me: one regularly smoke Camel cigs about 20 years ago (pre "Joe Cool" camel packaging) who claims that he sees something different; the other: he currently has smoked Camels for many, many years and he said if you want to the Peeing Boy of Belgium, than why ask a psychiatric patient to identify an inkblot? Perhaps allowing viewers the chance to give their personal interpretations would be more accurate, entertaining, and reasonable.

No way, can't believe it, you must be joking!

You serious. get the black rectangle i dont wana see dat, MAN!

So, there are many rumours about this particular topic,may be it is a play of our imagination.But there is also such a thing named creativity.I enjoyed all those camels very much, it was smth new.Collectors packs are cool.

haha this adorable....cutteeeeee

theres also a lion, the tail is the lion's tail and the hump is the mane and the center of the mane you can see a lion head

I think it is more likely that there is the skeleton which is visible. Even whether i think it is not the expression the company would like to reach but i think it seems like the camel dies because of smoking :D

have you seen the little mermaid illusion.... the very first little mermaid ever made had a "male part" on the cover and within the movie there were various references to it, such as a priest with u know what hanging out.

its an old one... also note the leaping lion (upper right corner of the camel, same tail)

ah ha i am a camel smoker and have known of this for years. if you look at the back end of the camel you will all so see a lion, it looks like its humping the camel... and a mate of mine years ago mentioned that there was another one in there some place but i cant remember where!
