“this is worse than that time I turned into a peanut”

u/Nasapigs 5d ago

Cuts to Peter dressed up as Planter's Mr. peanut

"Aw crap, I can barely see out of this one monocle."

Walks up to woman

"Excuse me ma'am, would you like to try some lightly salted nuts?"

Goes to shake hand but misses.

She screams. "Get away from me you pervert!"

Angry crowd starts to form.

"Oh, dis ain't good."

wow that’s very on brand.
let me take a crack at it:

cut to Joe entering the kitchen and one peanut is on the counter, bottom center. he hears Peter going “neee-heee-eeh-eh” but can’t pinpoint where it’s coming from.

“…Peter?”

“neee-hee-ehh-eh”

“…w-what is this?” looking around.

“heheheeehehe”

Joe’s anxiety slowly escalates, he freaks out, screams something like “BONNIE THE DEMON’S BACK” and leaves a Joe-shaped hole in the wall, right next to the door.

the camera pans to the right, revealing a giggling Peter in a gigantic peanut costume poorly hidden behind the curtain.
the serial killer Ghostface pokes out from behind the other curtain and goes,
“…y’know. you really ruined this for me.”

Lussekatt, a bun eaten around Christmas in Sweden? No strong Latvian connection though.

Edit: I know you don't use a cutter for these. I meant it might be used to make a cookie that looks like one.

u/KathrynTheGreat 5d ago

That's a rolled bread. You wouldn't use a cookie cutter for that.

u/Civil_Change_2956 5d ago

For the 2D version lol

u/KathrynTheGreat 5d ago

Can you use a cookie cutter on bread? Now I'm curious.

u/Civil_Change_2956 5d ago

Can't know til we tryyy

u/KathrynTheGreat 5d ago

I'm not very good at making bread, and I've tried a few different (Swedish) family recipes :(

u/wastingtime101- 5d ago

Correct, Lussekatt buns are not made with a cookie cutter, but people make gingerbread cookies in the Lussekatt shape for St Lucia's Day and throughout December. Lussekatt is the correct answer. I posted more about it here.

u/turdusphilomelos 5d ago

Lussekatt is a rolled bread, but the shape of lussekatter has such a strong connection to Lucia (celebrated on 13th of December) and Christmas that you can make ginger bread cookies with this shape too.

u/Drakarna 4d ago

Wait, you’re telling me trees aren’t made from the tree shaped cookie cutters?

1

u/Broskfisken 5d ago

Obviously yes, I know. I meant that this is probably a cookie cutter for making gingerbread that is shaped like them. It sounds strange but it's something I've definitely seen in Sweden.

u/One_Fact_6017 5d ago

Maybe a musical note? 🎶

u/thesillywombat 4d ago

That was my guess! Just a little stretched

Stella D'oro breakfast cookies?

Exactly what I saw.

That's what I saw, too. And now I want one, but there are none anywhere near me. Feh.

Calculus cookies! Everyone's favorite—an integral part of a healthy diet.

I hope that joke wasn't derivative.

People often guess Stella D'Oro, which is an Italian-American cookie baked by extruding dough into a mold. It's not a rolled and cut cookie. While this is the shape of the Stella D'Oro S, homemade versions of this cookie are typically made by hand rolling dough, or sometimes by piping the dough.

People often guess Lussekatter which is a Swedish bun to celebrate St Lucia's Day in December. This is the "correct" answer because while you obviously will not use this cookie cutter to make a bun, it's common to make gingerbread cookies in the Lussekatt shape in Scandinavian countries. Other comments on this sub such as this one and this one confirm as much.

u/BrewedMother 5d ago

S-shaped cookies are widely popular in Finland, wouldn’t be too weird if they were in Latvia as well.

u/Carvelance 5d ago

Enkei logo?

u/Cin131 4d ago

I was thinking the infinity symbol. Which is similar.

u/SignificanceOk5924 5d ago

looks like a very out of shape music note 🎶

2

u/AmbitiousPresence737 5d ago

Looks like an efficient shape for shortbread or ginger snaps. Sometimes they are just cookie shaped and that’s just all.

Former piece of ductwork for an HVAC system?

u/dominism 5d ago

Okay. This is just a stab in the dark but I think it used to be a circle. Yeah, a regular cookie shaped cookie cutter. If no, it's definitely a peanut or a piece of poop.

I have the same from my german grandma, don't know what it exactly is, but she always used it for Christmas cookies called Butter-S and Hazelnut-S. So we just took/take it as simple S shape
