A woman from Liverpool, England, has left the internet in stitches after sharing a picture of her sister on vacation with her girlfriends, posing with what she—and most other internet users—think looks like a trash bag.
The picture, shared on TikTok earlier in April, under the username dollylolly4, shows the four girls posing for a picture by the seaside in a small Italian town, with their backs to the camera, and their hands joined above their heads, forming heart shapes.
However, one of the girls in the picture has shiny black hair, which, paired with her black leather jacket, may give someone looking at it for the first time the idea that it's a trash bag they're posing with.
The post comes with a caption that says: "When my sister went to Italy with her mates, and everyone thought they were posing with a bin bag [trash bag]." Followed by: "This picture just came up on my phone. Sorry Remi."
The poster told Newsweek that the picture is a few years old now, and at the time, her sister and her friends were on a school trip to Italy.
She said: "[When they] posted this photo we were confused that they were sat around a bin bag and then realized it was their friend! Once you see it, you can't unsee it."

One user, Mother Fudger, commented: "You cannot convince me that's not a bin bag." Sherry Fender said: "At first I thought we were laughing at the left girl for holding her hand up while not having someone to complete it but then suddenly I saw it."
