Cuban mocks loaves with less weight: "They are smaller than a clothes peg."

The bread distributed by the regime through the bodegas is slightly larger than a coffee cup.


A Cuban shared a video on social media that reveals the tiny size of the bread that the regime sells after implementing the measure to reduce both its weight and its price.

User @walfri2hm posted a brief video on TikTok in which they compare a bon bread, distributed by the government through the regulated basket, with a clothesline stick, showing that the latter is almost twice the size of the bread.

"These are the new breads being distributed in Cuba with the reduction of grams," the profile noted.

He also pointed out: "In the video, they seem larger than they really are," as he placed the bread on a small coffee cup, usually of reduced size, to provide another reference for the tiny size.

To conclude, he struck what appeared to be the countertop of a kitchen, demonstrating that, in addition to being small, the bread was also hard, thereby highlighting its poor quality.

After the measure to reduce the size and price of regulated bread, the regime has faced a flood of criticism, many of which point out that it does not have the established weight.

In response, the government decided to conduct inspections in bakeries, with the hope that the bread will improve in quality and adhere to the required weight of 60 grams.

However, bread production faces more urgent problems, such as the lack of transportation for its distribution to warehouses and constant power outages, which force unusual measures to be taken, such as carrying trays down the streets.

What do you think?
