I just got this flip flop hat. Whilst I find it extremly cool because it reminds me of the 5th doctor's hat, i'm confused to what I did to earn it.

Flip flop

It exists in two varieties, blue and white. You get this hat for visiting a site and voting on December 21st.

The name is something to do with the dress that was all over social media a while ago because some saw it in blue and black, while others saw it as white and gold.

    Whoever came up with this hat needs to be drug-tested ;). Commented Dec 22, 2015 at 19:19

    Hmm... Following "the dress" link, I can see blue and black, but the Flip flop hat I got, it's white and gold ...? Commented Dec 22, 2015 at 21:54
  • @Teemu I think you get a "black and blue" or "white and gold" hat randomly, because the hats are not really an optical illusion Commented Dec 23, 2015 at 7:39
  • Wait, how did you hide that text? Commented Dec 23, 2015 at 7:48
  • But how'd you do it? Like, what did you put around the text? What symbol? Commented Dec 23, 2015 at 8:35
