Let it be known that earlier this month at a restaurant in Leyland, Lancashire, this happened.
Told the new lad at work that we bought long grain rice by accident so he spent an hour chopping them in half 😂😂
It's incredible that a) someone tried this and b) the kid fell for it but BuzzFeed is assured by the poster it happened.
We're also told he was "a bit embarrassed" when he realised what was going on. Anyway, he's fine: there's no evidence he's now gone into hiding as a result of being so gigantically owned.
