Starbucks_Polar_Bear_Cookie_MurderA photo of Starbucks’ polar bear cookies has gone viral, with many saying that the red icing doesn’t look like a scarf, but more like the bears’ throats were slit.

The post originated on a Reddit thread and has since spread across social media. The accompanying Imgur post has been viewed over 3 million times.

The photo of the cookie resurfaced last week, resulting in numerous social media posts.
