The tubby little cubby all stuffed with fluff has been stuffed with something else by the sadistic bakers of Japan. The land of the rising bun has given the cutesy A. A. Milne character a full bready workover by shoving some sugary pulp up his adorable rectal system. The heart-shaped bandage is probably not much of a consolation. A collaboration between CircleKSunkus and Disney, this limited-edition Melon Pan is bound to bounce out the conbini as fast as Tigger on a sugar rush, so act fast to fill yourself with yummy melony sap from the bowels of the bear. Look out for more collaborative items.

Melon Pan, ¥130, available from Sunkus stores
