A gingerbread cookie kit seemingly depicts Evo Moment 37 on its cover and there's no way they didn't do this on purpose
You know, every once in a while you run into something on the internet that at first glance makes you think, "there's no way this can be real!" Well, apparently this is very real, and I can't imagine they didn't do this on purpose.
Just yesterday, an X user discovered that there exists a gingerbread cookie kit that is themed around them being ninjas. This Christmas-themed treat has these gingerbread men (or "ninjabread" as they're called) posed in fighting stances, and smack-dab on the cover are two ninja cookies fighting it out in the exact iconic pose from Evo Moment 37.

How Evo Moment 37 unfolded in an alternate universe in which Justin Wong pulled off the parries
Evo Moment 37 is still one of the most famous moments in all of fighting games. BST|Daigo Umehara pulled off an amazing comeback in Street Fighter 3: Third Strike that had him surprising everyone when he perfectly pulled off a series of parries against Justin Wong's attempt to chip him out with Chun-Li's multi-hitting super art.
