Because of this meme, many people believed that "blue waffle" was an actual [[wikipedia:Sexually_transmitted_infection|std]] like HIV or gonorrhea (which some people like to call "duh 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.

The original picture originated on Documenting Reality. | |||
