Well, my experience was that at first, I didn't see the forks at all. (That is to say I didn't recognize them as "forks". Or even as "things".) The forks looked like some blurry, nondescript background and the "pepper shapes" looked like foreground items hanging from something unseen off the top. The shapes didn't look really like anything I could identify. That lasted for a good 30 seconds before, very (very) suddenly, it crystalized and I could only see the forks on a purple background. Really uncanny how rapidly and entirely it shifted. After a good amount of effort, I was able to shift back to the first perception, but it took considerable effort along with looking away and back a couple of times. And once I achieved it, it felt hard to maintain. Very strange experience. Far more so than most "bistable" sort of optical illusions I've seen.

Ah very good guide, thank you. Did not see the forks at all.

I find I can make them go away if I focus on the center of the image and lightly unfocus my eyes. But you're right - it's not without effort.

I saw it as forks immediately. Your description helped me to see the picture ”the other way”, with the pink döner in the foreground.

Exact opposite for me. Couldn't figure out what it was, and took a bit for the forks perception to stabilize after the poster said it was that.

Took me a moment but yeah I see the forks, but with little effort can revert back to the first view.

I noticed it's easier to shift back to the "pink döner" first perception if you hide the top half of the pic.

Coming from someone that's carved a pretty nice (and even functional) wooden fork before, I couldn't see the forks until you mentioned it.

Sigh, if only I knew how to chrome plate wood, I would have seen it much sooner..

Weird forced flex but I guess it tracks
