'Search image on google' add-on adventures: or, Sauron lives in a cola bottle
So I was trying to figure out where this bizarre but interesting rendition of Barad-Dûr came from, and I decided it was a good time to test the 'search image on google' add-on for Firefox.
This tool is rather like the Tineye reverse image search thing, but at the bottom of the google results it also has thumbnails of "visually similar images." The first one of these seemed to be premised upon the search tool's evident conviction that the Dark Tower resembles a soda bottle:
Behold, Coca-Cola Blāk, the short-lived coffee-flavored soft drink. They discontinued it because everyone in Mordor was getting too jittery.
(Scroll to the bottom to see the two side by side...I think it also believes the bridge resembles a corkscrew..)

The image of a thousand orcs, each swigging from their own bottle of Coca-Cola Blāk is going to stay with me :-D.
