Whether you find these little sausage people cute or creepy is no matter… They are currently a hot food trend in Japan. And, if we’ve learned anything about food trends, is that they usually last forever, if not longer.

Officially called ‘so-se-jin’, a play on the Japanese words for ‘sausage’ (so-se-ji) and ‘people’ (jin) — they’re created with a few simple cuts, and when cooked, will form arms and the expression of your choice.

I, for one, welcome our new sausage overlords. And you should consider including them in lunch to instantly add some adorbz. Or, to freak out the kids.
