If you’ve ever wrestled with a slice of sourdough bread, this viral reel might hit too close to home. The video, titled “Average Sourdough Bread Eating Experience,” has the internet in stitches, not because it’s exaggerated, but because it’s terrifyingly accurate.
“Average Sourdough Bread Eating Experience” Reel Goes Viral

It opens with pure chaos: the creator, who goes by the name Rohit Raghav, was dressed casually in a black tank and grey sweatpants, gripping a slice of bread like it’s his mortal enemy. He tries to cut it using everything but a knife, at one point, even a power drill. In another scene, he wedges the loaf between a sliding door, tugging like he’s in a wrestling match with carbohydrates. By the time he’s drenched in sweat, you can tell the bread has won. And just when you think he’s about to take a triumphant bite, he flinches, clutching his jaw. His teeth, it seems, weren’t built for artisan-level density.
The caption says it all: “Breakfast pe carpenter bulana padh raha hai aajkal.” Because honestly, at this point, a hammer might be more useful than a butter knife.
Why Sourdough Bread Is So Hard To Cut?
It’s the kind of humour that works because it’s rooted in collective experience. Sourdough bread, once the darling of pandemic kitchens, has a fanbase that swears by its earthy tang and health halo. It’s made through a slow fermentation process using natural yeast, giving it that chewy texture and slight sourness. But somewhere along the way, “chewy” became “chew-proof,” and people started wondering if they’d accidentally bought a home renovation tool instead of breakfast.
Internet Is In Splits
The comments section under the reel was pure gold and served as a reminder that the internet’s sense of humour is undefeated. One user joked, “Ye reel mere tak kaise agyi, main ameer toh nahi ho gaya?” while another hilariously questioned the casting choice: “Why did you cast brown bread for a sourdough’s role? There are so many sourdough artists looking for work.”
Someone even dubbed it the 2025 version of ‘Aari milegi? Kaatne ke liye?’ capturing the absurd energy perfectly. And perhaps the most relatable reaction came from a viewer who wrote, “My brother literally said ye carpenter ke reels kyu dekh rahe ho???,” followed by the ultimate pun that summed up the chaos: “Saw-r-dough or Jawbreaker dough?”
That’s exactly what this reel nails, the absurd, slightly painful charm of trying too hard to be healthy. It’s not slapstick; it’s observational gold. The sweat, the frustration, the dramatics, they’re all exaggerated, yes, but only just. In an online world obsessed with perfection, this video stands out for celebrating imperfection, or in this case, imperviousness. Who knew bread could double as a gym workout and a comedy sketch?
Sourdough might feed your gut bacteria, but as this reel proves, it also fuels the internet’s appetite for painfully relatable humour.
