Have you ever wondered about the correct anatomy of Hamburger Helper’s weird mascot, a four-fingered glove with a face named Lefty? If so, there’s finally an answer.

The question was first posed to Twitter a few days ago.

Does the Helper have a skull? Does it (?) have any bones? Does it have any limbs?

The replies were super creepy.

On Monday, the Twitter account for Hamburger Helper posted a photo that was intended to clear things up.

But it only led to more questions—and freaky images.
