On a quiet Thursday night on Twitter, Col Talbot uploaded a photo of his son eating a Cadbury's chocolate Santa Claus.
With all the wrapping on, they look a bit like this:
But Talbot noticed that once the wrapping was taken off, from a certain angle at least, the chocolate figurine looked altogether rather... different.
He tweeted his findings to Cadbury:
Hi @CadburyUK, my little lad loves your chocolate but I think your chocolate Santa Claus cast needs some work!!! https://t.co/qHCjIVTXQt— C O L (@C O L) 1481208379
There was some mixed reaction:
@ColTalbot1 @CadburyUK Oh my God! 😂 https://t.co/kZTsn67Qvt— rosechocglam (@rosechocglam) 1481216180
Some people just didn't know what to say:

Others invoked the Lord:
Some people swore:
Others called for an investigation:
It's not the first disrobed St Nicholas to look quite phallic:
But any word from Cadbury? An (admittedly, slightly bemused) Talbot told indy100:
Haha, no Cadbury's haven't replied.
On the response his photo provoked, Talbot added:
You get the odd person taking it too seriously. At the end of he day it's a picture of chocolate Father Christmas taken at an unfortunate angle.
Does he think the chocolate company will be changing its moulds? Will there be a campaign?
I doubt it.
And a Merry Christmas to all.
