Seven Subliminal Images with the Word Sex Barely-legally Hidden Inside

Including the Works of Companies Such as Disney and Pepsi

Webster's dictionary defines subliminal as "existing or functioning below the threshold of consciousness." Subliminal messages are messages that are hidden inside images, music, or videos with the intention of provoking the recipient's subconscious mind into processing some thought without their conscious mind being aware of it. Subliminal images contain subliminal messages which, in essence, without your knowledge, cause you to think or do something you would not have done otherwise.

Disney's Lion King

Although technically not an image, this frame from Disney's animation "The Lion King" is perhaps the most famous and disputed subliminal message ever discovered. When Simba sends up a dust cloud the letters "S-E-X" can clearly be seen when the movie was paused. Although the films animators defended the dust as spelling out an abbreviation for "special effects," the formed letters were edited from all the newest versions of the movie to avoid further conflicts over the issue. Disney is notorious for the many sexually natured subliminal images aimed at kids uncovered in its works.

Movie Posters

Three fantasy movie posters, and yet... This is by far the most obvious location of hidden naughtiness. I mean these had to either have been arranged like this as a joke by some employee or are truly a very interesting act of chance.

Flowers

At first glance we see what appear to be several pretty flowers. However, looks can be deceiving, a second look at the negative space in between the three flowers uncovers the three letters which spell out America's dirty little secret.

Skittles Bag

Put together the "S" in the red skittle and the "eX" in explosion and what do you get? Thats right, even candy promotes sex now.

Pepsi Cans

In the summer of 1990, in honor of the 4th of July, Pepsi began to distribute limited edition "Cool Cans" as part of a promotional campaign. A lucky drinker found an unexpected message, hidden in the new neon design, when he stacked two of the new cans atop each other.
