The photos of an opened sausage roll are going viral on X (Twitter).
The buyer tells us the story about it.
Cologne - Baked goods with sandwiches are part of many people's breakfast rituals, whatever they may be called regionally: rolls, rolls, rolls or pancakes, for example (we will use the High German version in this article from now on).
A copy has now gone through the roof at X (formerly Twitter).
So much so that one user writes that she has "seen the photo far more often than my entire paternal family combined, what is going on?!?!" We'll clarify.
Viral sausage roll: It started with a harmless posting on X (formerly Twitter)
It started with a posting from the user Vivi.
She posted two photos of her meal and wrote, "This is just cheating."
What she means is immediately clear: On the bottom half of the roll there is a mini lettuce leaf, which when folded gives the impression of an extra dose of vitamins, but in reality is extremely sparse.
As of February 22nd, her post had “only” been seen 8,000 times.
Viral sausage roll: User steals photos and puts them in the wrong context
Things only went wrong when another user with around 70,000 followers stole the photos without citing the source and put them in the wrong context.
“Why does this shit actually cost 3.95 euros at the bakery and you get a third of a lettuce leaf?” he asks.
Of course he triggered some people, after all, expensive sandwiches are always a nuisance.
But that's all fake.
It's not his roll, and it didn't cost 3.95 euros either.
But his post was viewed around 100,000 times.
Many reactions are no longer about the snack, but rather about the anger that he simply steals photos without citing the source and puts them in the wrong context.
Viral sausage roll: Vienna police get involved
He followed up with another one with the sentence “Now get big rolls.”
The Vienna State Police Department is even marked underneath.
She actually reacts with the comment “Wurschtsemmel haast des.” In standard German: “That’s called sausage roll”.
So the police don't get involved because of copyright or price, but rather with a complaint about the terminology.

There are other weird things that the viral snack has to offer, but we'd rather tell the actual story of the sausage roll.
X-user Vivi describes this at the request of the editorial team.
She can prove that she is really the author of the photos by providing another picture, even if this cannot of course be completely verified.
The user had not previously published this photo of her sausage roll.

The true story of the viral sausage roll isn't that spectacular
“It's actually pretty funny that the whole thing went viral.
“I really didn’t think so,” she says.
“Actually, I was just hungry and wanted to get something to eat at a restaurant/snack bar.
I don't even remember why I opened the roll.
I think it was because a friend once told me that people often cheat on things like this.
Well, and since I found the sight somehow funny, but also sad and annoying, I posted it.”
The good piece came from a non-public snack bar owned by her employer in North Rhine-Westphalia that is only accessible to employees.
She doesn't want to reveal anything more so that no conclusions can be drawn.
It didn't cost 3.95 euros, as the other user who took the photos claimed.
“The thing was actually relatively cheap because it wasn’t a public bakery.
Were 2 euros.”
And of course we also want to answer the question that only one person can answer: What did the viral sausage roll taste like?
“It tasted okay.
Well, what do you expect from a relatively dry roll?
But you could see that the sides of the sausage were already a little dried out.
But the salad really didn't taste good.
You also noticed that it had probably been on the counter for a while.” That’s all – and it will be interesting to see what strange social media hype is next.
Maybe the new product that will alarm Paulaner-Spezi fans?
