A rat filmed in Dublin emerging from a loaf of bread will be the most disturbing thing you see this week.
A Dublin rat has reached viral status after a video of it emerging from a loaf of bread in a service station horrified viewers. The Applegreen gas station in Cherry Orchard “temporarily closed” following a “pest control issue.”
Located in the food preparation area, the bread packet can be seen rustling before the rat climbs out and scurries away behind the kitchen appliances.
