Search term 'mob'. I guess they're kinda threatening like a flash mob. But also, they're gummy bears. So.
Search term 'nap'. Wait, did I look up roofies?
Search term 'birthday'. New search term 'let's surprise Grandma to death'.
Search term 'rain'. Huh. I guess Santa makes it rain?
Search term 'walk in the park'. Other search terms included 'teenage girls' and 'posture'.

Stock photography websites tag their photos much like your younger cousin tags her photos on Instagram: Vague and often (#me #selfie #eyes #green #greeneyes #girl). Sometimes your search for a man in a sweater yields a photo of a dog knitting a blanket. Check out the slideshow above to see some bizarre search results.
