Twitter user Zarame25 shared the above photo on earlier this week along with the comment: “My mother bought this bread, but I have no idea what it’s supposed to be. Is it a character or something? It’s some kind of weird animal.” Having spent the best part of this morning staring at it and throwing suggestions around, we have to admit we’re not sure what it’s supposed to be ether.
The internet being the internet, a few fellow Twitter users sprang to life at the sight of the peculiar creation and starting offering up a number of potentially plausible, and not to plausible, suggestions and comments such as:
Centipede bread!
A rabbit?? Wait, no, a caterpillar!?This
?
Definitely that! haha
LOL what the hell is that!?
I think it’s pretty cute!
Any ideas, guys? We’re racking our brains but the best we’ve come up with is two “snakes with a perm”.
