Why does this menu read backwards?

Read the two big words on the sample sign, then look at the leaf above them. The same input produced both pictures.

Before you begin

Read two words

Try LEMON and SODA. When both words run in reverse, a horizontal flip can make them readable again.

Check the rest of the frame

The leaf changes sides too. If only one word is backwards while the rest of the lettering looks right, flipping the whole image may spoil the other words.

Before you post

For a menu, event flyer or shirt in a selfie, zoom back out after the flip and read one more line. Tell us in the video comments where a flipped picture has caught you out.
