From delicious snacks like the iconic Mickey Bars to cool clothes and limited edition cups and bags, both Disneyland and Walt Disney World have it all when it comes to enticing souvenirs.

However, what happens when Disney introduces some “suggestive” pieces of merchandise?

A Reddit post went viral years ago after a guest shared an image of a Mickey Mouse cupcake keychain, which, upon first glance, may be innocent enough. But when you take another look, you may notice a shape (or two) Disney likely did not mean to represent. See the post below from u/SeekHunt:

The original poster claimed you could buy these at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. As you can probably gather from the photo, the keychains look quite similar to a certain part of the human body.

In the comments, Disney fans discussed how this must have slipped by to make it into the actual parks. With Disney being possibly one of the largest companies in the entire world, it is curious as to how this made it past several different design phases as well as marketing departments to ultimately end up for sale in the resort.

Another user suggested that they did this on purpose to drive more sales out of potential controversy. Another jokingly said the keychains were “tasteless” before saying they were going to buy four.

While slightly inappropriate, these items are fairly innocent and still look pretty good as keychains. We are unsure how they made it past the design phase while being so suggestive, however.

Have you seen these keychains in the Disney parks? Do you have one? Let us know in the comments below.
