If you’re just about to eat your lunch, you might want to avoid this article. We’re not going to lie, we definitely got a little queasy typing it up. A Reddit user has posted a picture of what appears to be a snake baked into a loaf of bread. Vom.
The Huffington Post reports that the image appeared on the photo-sharing website, accompanied by the caption: “My aunt found a WHOLE SNAKE in a loaf of bread.”
The Reddit user, Humananimalcracker, said that the bread was a loaf of Mrs. Baird’s brand bread. However, David Marguiles, the PR person for Mrs. Baird’s has suggested that the image was nothing more than a hoax.
“These kind of claims are virtually never true. This isn’t something where you’d look at it and say, ‘Yeah, this could have happened.’ This is a pretty bizarre claim,” said Mr Marguiles.
He added that in the 25 years he’s worked for Mrs. Baird’s he has never heard of any incident like this one before.
An official statement released by Mrs. Baird’s Bakeries states that the snake-like object in the picture “is most likely burned, residual dough that was baked into the loaf.” The statement went on to say that while this is a “rare occurrence” customers can “sometimes mistake the burned dough for a foreign object.”
Mrs. Baird’s Bakeries is appealing for the Reddit user to come forward and allow them to carry out tests on the loaf of bread in order to see if the ‘snake’ is in fact real.
