South Africans are scratching their heads after images of a gluten-free bread priced at over R3,300 went viral on Facebook.
The bread, from a US-based company, is being sold online in SA, but unlike your standard loaf, this one comes with a hefty $60 (R1,100) delivery fee on top.
For most South Africans, a loaf of bread sets you back a maximum of R20. So, this gluten-free option is causing a major stir. Take a look:
Social media is buzzing with questions: What makes this bread so special? Is it laced with gold flakes? Below are some of the comments we’ve seen:
Gu Ndo commented:
"This bread is worth my whole life."
Collens Adjei said:
"This is what happens when you buy bread online."
Ziyane Mqungebe Khathide wrote:
"Once you eat this bread you become a millionaire."
Jappie Motsei stated:
"You won't be hungry again for the next 4 months after eating 7 slices."
While details about the bread's ingredients are scarce, one thing is clear: A specific market is being targeted with this product. Whether anyone is willing to bite (pun intended) at this R3,000 price tag remains to be seen...
