‘The Feed’ Has Finally Cracked The Great Millennial Obsession With The Cob Loaf
Come for the cob loaf, stay for the drama.
If you’ve ever attended a dinner party with Australian millennials, chances are you’ve had the pleasure of dining on a fine cob loaf. Hell — if your friends are as bad at communicating as mine are, you just may have attended a dinner party with multiple cob loaves all fighting it out for the group’s love and affection. Who’s to say?
Cob loaves, of course, are just a big round loaf of bread stuffed with dip. But they’re also something more than that, and the team over at The Feed have absolutely nailed our sentiments towards them.
There’s simply nothing more relatable than watching an entire dinner party ignore a specially prepared, pan-seared barramundi (with roast chestnut jus) in favour of the big old cob loaf sitting nearby. I mean, who amongst us hasn’t simply eaten half of a cob loaf instead of the nutritionally balanced dinner we planned for?
As the guests in the video put it, “oh my god, this is exquisite! How did you come up with this?”
“I got the cob loaf from Woollies,” its creator explains. The room praises Woolworths, provider of cob loaves, as they damn well should. And while there’s a baffling and devastating plot twist involving a truck crash later on, I think we can all agree that the cob loaf remains the star of this show. Just ask the millennials flooding the comments to tag friends and make plans to devour cob loaves.
