Jesus pops up on toast more often that butter these days, while he has also appeared in tree stumps and pancakes in his time. But we have never seen Rory McIlroy appear on a tasty breakfast treat before.
But now, thanks to the Mirror, we have. They report that a man named Rob Price popped into his local bakery in England to buy a danish and he was stunned when he had a look at the confection.
“I couldn’t believe it when I picked up my Danish from the local bakery in Andover only to see what looked like Rory McIlroy’s face burnt into the top of it.
Not only was Rob shocked, he was also inspired to back the golfer for Masters glory, sticking €1,200 on him. If McIlroy does win, Rob will pocket just shy of €15,000, which should keep him in pastries for years to come.
And are we suspicious that this is all just a marketing stunt for a particular online betting service? Just a little but it is still the best Danish pastry story you’ll read today.
