Sure, they're good for you, but we're still filing these supermarket finds under "creepy."
Known as "happy/joyful doll pears," terrifying-looking baby-shaped pears are now available in Beijing, China.
A plastic mould snaps around each piece of fruit during its early developmental stage. The fruit grows to fill the mould until a creepy baby-shaped pear is ready for consumption.
According to Distractify, a single bite from one of these "baby pears" is supposed to add a whopping 47,000 years to your life.
Chinese farmer De He is cashing in on the immortality-promising fruit:
"Who can resist a beautiful baby? And who could resist a lovely piece of fruit that looks like one? It occurred to me I would be on to a winner if I could market fruit in the form of perfectly formed, innocent babies and that has proven to be the case," he tells the Daily Mail. "Local supermarkets cannot get enough of the stuff."
Creepy-baby-eating aside, De He claims the fruit is encouraging kids to embrace healthy eating.

"Parents are particularly happy. Junk food and sweet consumption is on the rise in China and making many children obese. Getting them to eat fruit in a fun way is important and they love eating the babyfruit," he says.
A Buddha-shaped variety of pear is also available.
These moulded pears cost about 3 each ($5.50 CAD), or ten times the price of an ordinary pear.
If you want to grow your own, Fruit Mould is selling their reusable moulds online, including two different sizes of "baby shape" moulds, at a more reasonable $3 to $4.

Maybe you could copy the one from the article that wason the front page..
What about a baby panda pear?
These are cute, I must say! They look a little creepy, but they're cute!
I'll try...
It's on the second page under "Other" "Bird Cardoff Food Company"
Maybe a butterfly..
Apparently you can also get these:
Tasty.
That was my first thought...maybe they had younger brothers ??
How about little Bunnies??
I was thinking of the general outline. The pear really isn't the color of a baby, either... (green babies?)
Here is the link to the first article about them I saw:
Peaches Wearing Panties Are Apparently A Thing In China
This is all I could find for muffins, but if Perrie wants to be more risque, by all means.
Ours are juicy, too!
Looks like baby Budda.
