I just found out something I love: in CDMX, they created a sweet bread inspired by Punch, that Japanese cartoon character who went viral for hugging his plush toy after his mom rejected him. The story is so heartwarming that a bakery in Iztapalapa decided to make the Conchanguito, a special version of the traditional concha with a design of the little monkey hugging his friend Lupe.

The best part is that it’s not just any sweet bread. panadería Bestcake MX made it part of a collection called Conchiamalitos, which also includes capybaras and axolotls. It’s a very creative way to blend Mexican tradition with viral internet phenomena. The conchas are heart-shaped with details representing Punch, so it looks quite beautiful.

If you want to try this very special sweet bread, they are selling packages: six conchas for $350 pesos or two Conchanguito for $120. However, there’s a waiting list because it became popular quickly. You can place an order via WhatsApp at 7581038851 or through their social media.

Honestly, Punch has quite a story: he was born in 2025, and his caregivers gave him that plush toy to comfort him. Since then, he hasn’t let go, and that’s what won everyone over on social media. Now that there’s a sweet bread dedicated to him, things have become even more adorable. Does anyone else want to try the Conchanguito just for the story behind it?
