Frosted Flakes has Tony the Tiger. Quaker Oats has the Quaker Man. Now, the U.K.-based supermarket chain Tesco is proud to introduce the new mascot for its line of branded buttermilk: a giant, wiggling penis.

Initially spotted by an eagle-eyed redditor on the shelves of an Irish supermarket last weekend, the image is on a carton of branded Tesco buttermilk, which is currently being sold on the grocery chain’s website. It’s unclear what, exactly, the design on the carton is actually intended to be—an arm? A cow’s udder? A sideways drawing of a python after eating a Williams-Sonoma pitcher?—but ultimately it doesn’t matter, because any way you look at it, you’re staring at a flaccid, bulbous Muppet dong.
Unsurprisingly, Twitter is having a ball (or two) with Tesco’s design snafu, not to mention the unlimited opportunities it posed for (ugh) “milking” puns:

Hey, Tesco: In the interest of gender equality, maybe next time hire Airbnb’s logo designer.
