  • In late August 2018, an image purportedly showing a snake found inside a plastic milk jug started circulating on social media: While some social media users presented this picture with first-person phrasing (as if they had personally purchased a snake-infested gallon of milk from the store), this was not a genuine photograph of a snake (or snakes) trapped inside a milk jug. This image was created submitted to a 2006 Photoshop contest hosted by the web site Worth1000 by user microfracture. Worth1000 (now DesignCrowd) frequently held Photoshop contests in which participants were asked to use digital editing tools to create convincing (but fake) images. The picture of the snake in the milk jug was created for the Obvious Tampering 2 contest, which tasked contestants with having a little fun with product tampering: This image of a snake in a milk jug did not win the Obvious Tampering 2 contest. However, the fact that it continues to fool some viewers more than a decade after its creation might be considered a worthy consolation prize. (en)
