M&M’s sometimes trick my brain into thinking they are delicious vitamin-packed vegetables. Bad M&M’s!

It really is amazing how well that works and the disconnect between what’s there and what we actually see.
It’s funny though, I’d expect that the dark/light dots on one side of the square would visually reduce that side of the square, making it seem tapered down on that side - instead the opposite happens. I wonder if things would “flip” at all if the M&Ms were closer to the border of each square.

HA, I defeated the illusion! I used the technique for breaking an SEP field from Hitchhiker’s guide. Look at it out of the corner of your eye, then snap into full on looking at it.

Aren’t M&Ms attractive enough to be classified as such?
