Another day, another debate that's doing the rounds - and it's one that has sent the internet into a frenzy. 

Remember a few months back when we chatted about the audio clip that convinced people they were losing it? Well, to this day I am still sure that it sounded like 'Yanny'. However, many of my friends are sure that it was 'Laurel'. It just goes to show how one simple thing can go viral - and break the internet.

It seems like we're back at it again with another debate. This time, it's a coffee mug that's going to mess with your mind. It’ll have you double-taking and re-watching this video a million times to work out if you’re seeing things.

According to UNILAD, a craftsman, artist, and puzzle-maker has designed a mug that is weirdly both square and round. In a short video that's doing the rounds, the man can be seen turning the cup in different directions, and each time it looks different. He even fills the mug with milk, which does not make it any easier.

So, what shape is it? Well, I think it depends on the way you look at it. Either way, it will have you scratching your head trying to figure it out.
