Description

The mood here is delightfully absurd. How else can you describe a cheerful capybara wearing a lobster backpack? Do you have someone in mind who is a little mischievous with a taste for the finer things in life? Perhaps your loved one simply has a penchant for whimsical objects that are sure fire conversation starters. Leaning into the delightfully absurd, here are a few unexpected lobster facts for you. Did you know lobsters were not always a fancy main dish? In early colonial America, lobster was so abundant along the Atlantic coast that it was considered poor people’s food and was often fed to prisoners, servants, and livestock. The reputation shift happened in the late 1800s as fresh seafood could be shipped inland by railroad. People who had never seen lobster before found it exotic. By the early 1900s, high end restaurants began serving lobster and it quickly became associated with fine dining.

No, you are not imagining it. Draped across this capybara’s round little shoulders is a lobster backpack. The bright, orangey red straps hug its soft body while the tiny lobster rests snugly against Capy’s back. The lobster’s playful shape and bold color create a fun contrast against the plush brown fur, making the whole design pop. With its little claws and cute smiling face, the backpack looks like the perfect seaside souvenir that Capy has decided to carry everywhere.
