One of the fun things about the internet is that it allows a lot of people to come together and revel in their shared insanity. You can put up a crazy theory about literally anything and you’ll probably find scores of other strangers who want to play along.
Well, that’s exactly what happened with all this Vans business. It all started when @lanacutherlip posted this little gem:

Of course, everyone else needed to get it on the action:

Naturally, parents just didn’t understand.

Some people even took the challenge to new heights…

While others thought they had it figured out…
Your Vans sneakers will always land right side up after you throw them, and @Ibelievthehype has the proof. https://t.co/8DQS5tfDtj

And of course, everyone else tried to debunk the theory (yes! science!)

But this is Twitter after all, so we had to up the ante somehow…

But the Crocs theory seemed to hold up…
