Is it turkey, or is it ice cream? In this case, it’s both! Baskin-Robbins has officially brought back its Thanksgiving Ice Cream Turkey Cake for 2018. As you may have guessed given its name, the popular dessert is an ice cream cake in the shape of a turkey that’s made to look almost exactly like the savory Thanksgiving staple.
Sometimes food just misses the mark. Sure, it’s necessary to live, but not all foods are created equal. In fact, some man-made creations are just downright bizarre or repulsive, which is why Us Weekly has compiled a list of the foods we wish never existed.

When one Twitter user lamented that she couldn’t track down the turkey-shaped dessert at her local outpost, the Massachusetts-based company chimed in, tweeting back, “The stores are all independently owned and operated franchises and product availability does vary. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to your local store to see what they can make!”
Even candy canes aren’t safe from this bizarre food trend. The holiday treats used to only have one flavor – peppermint – but since nothing is sacred anymore, the festive candies are now sold in gag-inducing varieties such as clam and pickle, and that’s just the beginning.

Despite limited availability, social media users are generally psyched by the annual return of the Thanksgiving Ice Cream Turkey Cake, but at least one has remarked that the sweet bird looks a tad too realistic to eat. Check out some reactions below:
