Aussies Are Reacting To A Canadian's Chaotic Attempt At Making Fairy Bread

"Your hundreds and thousands privileges have been revoked indefinitely."

Making the perfect slice of fairy bread should be Australia or New Zealand's national sport. It requires precision, an understanding of the correct butter to Hundreds & Thousands ratio, and whimsical childlike wonderment.

I was a whore for fairy bread 😂 https://t.co/wcB0hWYkT9

So, naturally, when we stumble across a less-than-perfect attempt at creating a colourful slice — it triggers something within us. Suddenly, we become the authority and start offering our opinions on how they've royally fucked it up.

At a party on the weekend and there’s some things you just have to say no to…. If your children love colourful food, then they are going to adore Healthy Fairy Bread 🎉 Would you give this a go? d#dessertpartyppartyfoodffairybreadhealthy #fyp

This TikTok video from @fatimahomran sparked an emotive campaign to get her daughter some proper fairy bread, at the end of last year.

Another case in point — Reddit user u/pooteenn, from Canada, shared their red-hot-go at making fairy bread and it's gathered some unimpressed reviews.

From helpful and constructive to downright outraged, here are some of the best responses to what some Aussies would consider an immortal sin:

1. "Did you run out of 100s & 1000s or are you intentionally trying to start a war?"

—u/biasedmillenial

2. "How dare you!"

"Remain inside. Do not visit the kitchen, your hundreds and thousands privileges have been revoked indefinitely." 

—u/SunshineKittenYESYES

3. "A decent first effort."

"I suspect the issue is you're using quality butter instead of the cheap and nasty margarine that is traditional for fairy bread."  

— u/The_Duc_Lord

4. "Concept appears to be understood."

"C+ out of 10 for your efforts. Execution a little lacking."  

— u/unbakedcassava

5. "Butter the bread all the way to the edge."

"Soften the butter in the microwave if needed. And instead of sprinkling the 100s & 1000s onto the bread, put them in a shallow dish and press the bread, buttered side down, into them."  

— u/HalfManHalfCyborg

6. "It’s delicious."

"I tried it last week with peanut butter instead 10/10 can recommend."

— u/uteboi81

7. "Why is only half of the bread buttered?"

"Wait, that's butter? I thought it was plastic cheese."

After reading through some of the other responses to this fairy bread debacle, I now have a very important question to ask you.

Now, can a skilled Canadian teach us how to make poutine?

Thank you so much!
