Blue Waffle
Blue Waffle is a shock site. Victims are told to search for an image of a blue waffle on Google's Image Search, only to be surprised by a close-up shot image of what appears to be a diseased woman's vagina.
When accessing the site, the page consisted of just a picture of what appears to be a diseased vagina, with a small description. Eventually, this was used as a form of bait and switch, baiting people into searching it on Google Images. These mainly came in the form of images, showing a literal blue waffle, followed by the caption Bet you can’t find me on Google Images!, The picture was originated on Documenting Reality.
There is no known disease named Blue Waffle. All stories about Blue Waffle being an STD are wrong. The pictures show a yeast infection stained with an antibacterial triarylmethane dye known as crystal violet, in Trenton, New Jersey, councilwoman Kathy McBride fell victim to the hoax during a 2013 City Council meeting believing the disease was real.
There are so many variations of this site, including Red Pancake and Giant Cheese Taco, showing a picture of a diseased anus, possibly infected with anal warts, or HPV, alongside with a picture of a diseased vagina covered in yellow pus and blood, all of these sites went down.
