A WOMAN was stunned when a baker complied with her demand that he consumed a loaf of mouldy bread she had bought from him.
It all began when the woman bought the bread from a shop in China’s Guangdong province on Sept 2, Sin Chew Daily reported.
She was furious when she opened the packaging the next day and found that the bread had turned mouldy.
She then marched back to the bakery and demanded a refund.
“Will you be responsible if my child gets a stomach upset from eating the bread?” she told the baker.
When he refused to give a refund, the woman demanded that he consume the mouldy bread to prove that it was edible.
In a video which had gone viral online, the baker was seen chomping down on the bread.
The woman stared at him in stunned silence.
“Since you have eaten all of it, I don’t feel it is an issue anymore,” she was heard saying in the video.
The baker later told the press that he suspected that the woman had not stored the bread properly, which caused it to grow mouldy overnight.
Many Internet users sided with the baker.
“I felt the customer did not keep the bread properly,” someone wrote.
