The team here at #TrendingTopics has been debating about our toast choices since it’s #NationalToastDay.
Alice says, “I’m definitely going to be eating the classic butter-me-up and loading on the beans. I can’t stand the smell of Marmite, it’s disgusting!”
Phoebe thinks just plain butter is underrated, ‘I am a lover of the classic, when it melts in, it just makes me happy. But im not opposed to adding a big dollop of raspberry jam.’
Jake wanted to sing a little song, “Beans, beans, good for the heart… they’re probably not, but they taste great on toast”.
