Food: Hatsune Miku themed Strawberry Cream Bread - Ruined by my dirt mind.

So about a month ago, the popular convenient store FamilyMart sold a line of food products in collaboration with the vocaloid character phenomenon Hatsune Miku. As Spring was just around the corner, the campaign was named "Sakura no Uta" (the song of the cherry blossoms). The products were themed around Spring in Japan, such as Plum Bentos, cherry-blossom and strawberry cakes, cherry blossom buns etc. Basically, slapping cherry blossoms onto anything they could.


Okay, so its a really lazy marketing scheme. It happens every year and nobody seems to mind. But what did cause a stir was one "Strawberry Cream Bread" that obscenely resembled a... well I'll let you guys decide...

[WARNING: MAY NOT BE SAFE FOR WORK (ALTHOUGH IT'S JUST BREAD)]

The product in question is a "Strawberry Cream Bread" called Sakura no Ame (The rain of the cherry blossom), named after a Hatsune Miku song.

Innocent enough
When you see it....
It's meant to be shaped like a cherry blossom petal. The whole spring theme, right? That's totally fine... Wait a minute...

Oh, Fuck you internet!
Yeah, you get it now! You gotta think that somewhere upon planning, manufacturing, and marketing the product that someone would've seen it!

And now some teenage boy somewhere in Japan would be dumb enough to do this...
We'll just tell your mother that... we ate it all
