If your holiday treats aren't shaped like cars you're doing it wrong

Tonight my wife handed me two bags of gingerbread cookie mix and told me to make gingerbread men with my 2 year-old son. What is a gingerbread man and why are we obsessed with having our children to eat small people-shaped treats? "Hey son, bite this little man's head off. Mmmm!"

Instead of traumatizing my son with candy cannibalism, I decided to freehand a few well-known vehicles from the cookie dough.

Before being tossed in the 370 degree oven the dough had more detail and clearer lines, but it appears heat takes a toll on vehicle design. I'll blame pedestrian safety standard for all the soft edges.

Care to take a shot at naming the cars in the photo?

And remember many family events, even simple things like holiday baking, can become a fun trip to Jalop Land - you just have to think outside the (cookie) box.

It was suppose to be a C7, but the oven turned it into a C6.

I clearly see a 'Vette (C6) and what looks to be a BMW... then a small roadster, maybe a Miata, and the SUV looks like a Ford Edge

I've heard those box kits can be years old.

They sure taste like it.... I don't think you're supposed to eat them after they've been built and sat out all December.

These are pretty cool. It's obvious they swelled a bit but you can still definitely tell what they are.

I guessed Subaru WRX, Miata, C7, and E30. Close!

I really think the Jeep looks like a Edge, for the same reasons the C7 turned in to a C6.
