Surprising reason why people should be wary when eating hot cross buns
A West Australian trucker has shown why eating hot cross buns could land drivers in trouble ahead of Easter.
Pilbara Heavy Haulage Girls uploaded a video to Facebook on Sunday of founder Heather Jones tucking into the Easter treat.
In the video, she holds a breathalyser and blows zero as she holds a hot cross bun.
“One mouthful of a hot cross bun,” she says before taking a bite.
Ms Jones then uses the breathalyser again and blows 0.018.
In WA, low-range drink driving infringements are between 0.05 to 0.06.
“So, be really careful this Easter,” she says.
The video has more than 800,000 views but it’s received mixed responses.
One man joked he ate a full pack of the buns and had a rough morning.
“I had a six pack of hot cross buns last night and woke up with the biggest hangover,” he wrote.
However, another man suggested Ms Jones “incorrectly” used the breathalyser and should have waited 15 minutes after eating the bun.
“Bananas, some jams and many foods have the same effect,” he wrote.
Another added “a lot of foods and drinks” make people appear to be over the limit.
“That is why you are not meant to blow straight after eating or drinking,” he wrote.
