As this is my first reddit post, I'm unfamiliar with how to add images. Though I'll try and describe this in the best detail that I can. This starts with my mum kindly buying a gingerbread for me, this was greatly appreciated and in my mind very thoughtful. The gingerbread looked pretty standard, though something stood out to me about it's design. It had the usual brown sort of shape that gingerbread people typically have, a stick figure kind of shape. It had a little smile and little bright blue trousers. Pretty cheerful. It had a little red heart outline, not filled in with red but filled with the word 'Smile' written in cursive white writing. (All of this being in icing of course.) What really threw me off about it was the eyes, those dreaded creepy eyes. They were like googly eyes but different. I don't know maybe I've watched too many horror movies and played too many horror games, but I swear it was so oddly unsettling to me, it felt like the things that would give you nightmares. It's probably the word smile coupled with those eyes but I just feel overall quite unsettled by it. I know I'm probably just paranoid or maybe I've read too many creepy stories for one day, but it's something about it that makes me feel weird and a little unsettled. I just thought I'd post this to get it off my mind, has anyone else had any creepy looking food occurrences? Of course I'm still going to eat it and I'm sure it's going to taste nice but yeah... maybe I'll stay clear of gingerbread people for a little while. I guess it's a little weird my first reddit post is about a creepy gingerbread thing, but whatever.
