Imagining celebrities or politicians as different things, be them cans of Marks and Spencer beverages or legal drugs, is easily one of the best online trends of 2019.
However, we may have finally gone through the looking glass with a thread that could have been plucked from your deepest, darkest nightmares.
As the Tory leadership race begins to heat up, Twitter user @YesMissMurphy has created a now-viral thread comparing the 11 candidates to terrifying pieces of taxidermy.
We apologise if this gives any of you nightmares.
