When she opened a Christmas themed cookie cutter set, one shape immediately stood out, and not in a good way. Lying among stars, snowmen, trees, and houses was a metal outline that looked like absolutely nothing she could recognize. It was awkward, lopsided, and confusing. She picked it up, turned it sideways, flipped it upside down, and held it at arm’s length as if distance might suddenly make the image clearer. Nothing helped. No familiar holiday figure appeared. The shape remained a complete mystery.

She spread the other cutters across the table, hoping that seeing them together would offer a clue. Santa, reindeer, bells, candy canes, all made perfect sense. The strange one did not. It looked like a scribble someone had frozen in metal. The packaging gave no hints either. There was no printed guide showing the shapes, no picture of decorated cookies, nothing to explain what this particular cutter was supposed to be.

Confusion slowly turned into curiosity. The more she stared at it, the more determined she became to solve the puzzle. Instead of tossing it aside, she decided to ask the internet.

She snapped a photo and posted it on Reddit with a simple question asking if anyone could identify what the shape was meant to be. The post gained attention almost immediately. Within minutes, responses began pouring in from people just as puzzled and entertained as she was.
