Nom… Nom? Fetus-Shaped Cookies

If you’re hankering for a little snack that’s sweet, light and won’t fill you up, you might want to consider sinking your teeth into an unborn child. As we often do. For merely $9.99, you could have your very own set of fetus-shaped cookie cutter to aid in utterly horrifying the next person for whom you throw a baby shower.

You can just imagine the sorts of wonderful possibilities such a tool would allow…

Combine with egg and sperm cupcakes and an anatomically correct bundt cake to explain the origin of life to young ones:

Dress the cookies up with tiny hats and lederhosen to act out your own version of the beloved children’s classic, Hänsel und Gretel.

Cover in red frosting to share the fact that you’re a colossal creep. The options, really, are endless!

But, of course, this bring up the question: Would you buy these cookie cutters? Would you eat these cookies? The source article brings up the point that fetuses are today more often associated with abortion than with a stage of gestation. So, eating or serving such cookies might be taken as an attempt to make light of a controversial issues. Also, there’s an overall “ick” factor tied to our society’s deep-borne dread of cannibalism over eating food that resembles the human anatomy. Swedish fish? Sure. A cake shaped like a co-worker’s head? Depends. A fetus cookie? Eh.
