Smiley faces in things (part 2)

It's only a few days until National Smile Day*, so to celebrate this week's blog post features another collection of pareidolia themed smiley photos.

* May 31st.

On a related note, I'm thinking of removing my spine.
It's only holding me back.

Smiley faces in things

"A smile is the prettiest thing you can wear."

I don't know who said that, but whoever it was, it's a cool quote.

"Pareidolia sounds like some weird medical condition, but in actual fact pareidolia is simply the phenomenon of seeing faces (or other items) in everyday objects and patterns."

I know who said that. It was me!

Anyway, tomorrow is International Day Of Happiness, so I thought it would be appropriate to combine smiles and pareidolia, and feature a selection of happy smiley faces found in everyday objects.

1) Smiley face beer!

First up is a smiley face which randomly appeared in the froth on a pint of lager. Appropriately enough, the smiley face actually even looks a little bit tipsy, or perhaps that's just pareidolia playing tricks with my brain.
