'''Blue Waffle''' is term for a fake disease, internet hoax, and [[Shock site|shock image]] that was coined in 2008. Because of this meme, many people believed that "blue waffle" was an actual [[wikipedia:Sexually_transmitted_infection|STD]] like HIV or gonorrhea (which is sometimes referred to as "duh/the clap"). Trolls would tell victims 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 vagina.

Shock sites were made in response to the popularity that blue waffle was getting. Most mirrors 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 original picture originated on Documenting Reality.
