Back in the day, it was common for people to buy half a loaf of bread when they didn't need a full one. Recently, a man shared that Sasko seemingly sold packs of four slices of bread, which got the internet talking.

With over two million TikTok users watching the clip, thousands of local shoppers headed to the viral video's comment section to share their thoughts about the bread company and their supposed new packaging.

While some people welcomed the idea of four slices, others wondered if the company knew about the packaging and commented on the allegations of rodents in the bread.

@as.ante wrote in the comment section:

"Does Sasko know about this? I just want to be sure before I purchase."

@uppityjoburggirl laughed and said:

"I miss those days when one could buy a half or quarter loaf of bread."

@eugenesm said with humour:

"This is smart. Instead of throwing away a whole loaf with a rat in it, they can just take the nice slices out and repackage."

Last month, Briefly News contacted Sasko for a comment after a young woman alleged that she found pieces of a rodent in her loaf of bread.

The company noted that their visual assessment of the media material determined that the dough was burnt, not rodent-infused.
