What looks like your average croissant however, made after a night out when someone fell asleep at 1am and left it baking 'till 8am. The croissant is jet black and flaky in texture, similar to the delicious butter ones we all love except highly unattractive to the eye. So why are these croissants black? Well, it looks as if they are infused with literal charcoal, yep, exactly what they look like. Titled "Charcoal Activated Vegan Croissant", their slogan is "tastes better than it looks" which is quite alarming, however the creators have explained what is in them and why they look so hideous... incase you are tempted to try...I feel like this might be a bit much, even for East London pic.twitter.com/cReZRIqzPe

If you have to put up a sign saying 'Tastes better than it looks' you know it's going to be a hard sell!

Was anyone entertaining the thought that it might taste worse than it looks? #damnedwithfaintpraise

Well, I think that settles that then."Oi, Barry, what we doin' with this burnt batch?"... "Hang on Dave, I've got an idea"
