Take your thinking hat off for this one.

In one of the strangest origin stories in history these babies are said to have been brought to life through the pollination of a cabbage patch.

Not only were they pollinated into life, but they were pollinated into life by a bunnybee.

A bunnybee, you ask? Why yes, of course, a bee with bunny ears which are used as wings!

Nobody really cared about the back story to these things though – they just knew they were popular, so they wanted one too. This lead to what I’ll refer to as “Doll Hysteria” during one otherwise normal Christmas.

In terms of actually playing with these, there’s not much to be done. You can dress them, and refer to them by their factory given name. And that’s about it.

Who actually eats cabbage?
