Okay but why do the buns all have that weird bump on them?

You noticed it too?! They look like malignant tumors growing out of them!

These are fun! Loved all of the Street Fighter ones when we got those plus the McDonalds color alts in Street Fighter 6. Don't know if there's a Gunpla or figure plan here, but the 7-11 color version of the R-X78-2 AKA the original Gundam is... interesting let's say ha ha!

My guess is that it's a deliberate imperfection to make it look more 'artisanal' than the perfectly shaped buns you expect from mass-produced fast food. Of course, since it is the same bump, you lose the effect of making it appear handcrafted. Food photos have been a staged thing for a long time, but at least somebody thought to rotate the bun on one of them so the bump was on the other side. Laughing
