Baby avocados are here, and everyone's freaking out
People freak out over miniature food items as if they're newborn kittens.

You might need five to make a proper sandwich, but they're definitely cute, and that's really all that matters, right?
Mini avos were first found in the UK back in January, when megastore Marks & Spencer was the first to start selling the Spain-grown "babycados."
