Garlic bread goes viral

... For all the wrong reasons - by Jane Pine
  • 30 May 2018

You wouldn’t think that you could go wrong making garlic bread. After all, it’s just a delicious combination of warm bread, lashings of butter and a sprinkle of herbs.

But it seems you can go terribly wrong, with Australian customers flocking to Coles’ Facebook page complaining about loaves minus the butter, garlic and herbs.

Revesby resident Rebecca Mawhinney posted a photo of her lacklustre loaf to Coles’ Facebook page, saying she was “having a hard time” finding the essential ingredients.

“Thanks for taking the time to bring this to our attention,” the supermarket responded.

“We’re disappointed to see that you’ve bought garlic baguettes from us that were missing the key ingredients. We’ll certainly pass this on to the team so that they’re aware, could you please confirm whether you still have your receipt or the packaging?”

A spokeswoman for Coles told news.com.au it was following up on the complaints.

“Coles takes the quality of all our products seriously. We have contacted the customer and will follow up with our supplier to investigate the matter,” a Coles statement read.

“We encourage customers to return any item that they’re not 100 per cent happy with, to their nearest store for a full refund or replacement.”
