Mums and dads are taking pictures of their babies' arms alongside sticks of "pull-apart bread", a popular brioche-style snack from Japanese supermarkets.

The trend had reportedly begun after one user, named Koni (@sn15papa), posted a photo with the caption:

"Which is bread and which is the arm? I can't tell.

"I created a tag and hope everyone else will take a look at it.

"Am I the only one who feels that this will become the greatest tag? "

The hashtag launched hundreds of hilarious photos showing plump baby arms lined up alongside little lumps of dough or bread.

Then again, the trend seems to have caught on so famously with the Japanese because they seem to have more babies with arms that chubby, in the country.
