Bread in fridge? Question sparks furious debate
A picture of loaves of bread has sparked a furious debate and divided opinions all over the nation.
A man posted a snap of two loaves of bread in the fridge to a Perth Facebook group where he asked in disbelief: "Seriously! Who puts bread in the fridge?”
On the shelf above the two loaves was another item from a supermarket bakery.
The original posted explained in the comments the photo was taken inside the fridge of his workplace.
The post went on to spark a heated debate about what to do with a nice loaf of bread to keep it fresh, with many claiming the Aussie climate turns bread mouldy quicker than normal.
Others insisted refrigeration bread isn’t that unusual.
"I normally freeze a loaf for later on and thaw it as needed but first time I’ve seen bread in a fridge," one man commented.
"Fridge or freezer…lasts longer," another said.
"Mine goes mouldy … in a few days especially during warm weather so always fridge it," another added in the debate.
"I always freeze my bread and thaw as needed," one woman said. "Always as freshly baked."
However, other bread lovers claimed the practice ruins the freshness of the bread.
"Bread shouldn't last that long – buy it fresh when and as you need it," one commenter said.
"Keeping bread in the fridge will make it stale quicker," one woman said.
To add fire to the already intense flames, a disgruntled user said the practice is “yuk”.
"I suppose the Vegemite and tomato sauce is in there too."
