They’ve made a remarkable discovery on social media in Japan: certain varieties of bread rolls look just like baby arms. 

Under the hashtag #我が子の最強ちぎりパン画像, which translates into #MyBabysGotTheBestBreadPhoto, people are posting pictures of their baby’s arm placed next to a popular Japanese brand of bread snack. 

Some people’s babies have arms that resemble the bread rolls so much, they don’t even place the rolls next to the arm for comparison.
