Pongdemic fear as a new recipe for French baguettes causes explosion of botty burps

ANGRY bakers are fuming over a growing craze for undercooked baguettes which they say is causing a worldwide farting epidemic.

French cooks, who sell 10billion stick loaves a year, blasted the "half-baked idea from America", which is forcing them to remove baguettes before they are crusty.

It leaves them with spongy white bread, which they blame for a wide range of issues, including tooth decay and flatulence.
