16 Most Viral Photos Ever, According To Google

Photos are the lifeblood of the Internet. Without photos, life on the web will definitely not be the same. Over the last couple of years, however, popularity of certain photos have spiked, thanks to the “viral” nature by which they get shared. Some of them become memes, captioned and edited for comedic effect. While some are just plain popular because of their historic or cultural significance.
