Jimmy's Bakery, inYilanCounty, is selling loaves of the vibrant¹ green, pink and black 'watermelon toast'.

 

Hundreds of customers have started lining² up every day to get their hands on a prized loaf.

 

The bread - which tastes nothing like watermelon - is made with charcoal³, green tea and strawberry food colouring to create the bright colours of the seeds, rind and flesh.

 

The bread is also sold with yellow 'flesh'.

 

A YouTube video showing how the bizarre⁴ bread can be created at home reveals that it can taste like chocolate, strawberry or green tea.

 

Hundreds of fans have uploaded snaps⁵ of the snack to social media, with one Instagram user saying they had driven two hours just to sample the bread.

 

Other social media shots show the small store with a crowd of eager customers snaking out on to the street.

 

A crowd controller can be seen monitoring the queue as they wait to purchase the Watermelon Toast.

 

The bakery, which sells the unusual snack by the loaf or sliced and toasted, makes approximately 100 loaves per day.

 

Bakery owner Lee Wen-fa reportedly created the colourful treat to appeal to children who had lost their appetite in the hot summer months.
