    I called to let someone know that their baguette and soda (Pepsi) tasted off and almost moldy. The bread smelled and looked fine, though, once you started chewing it, it tasted off.. and no it wasn’t like a sour taste if it’s a sourdough baguette. The lady just told me she had the bread this morning and was fine and how weird that my piece tastes weird. She said she would just taste the soda. No offer to reimburse or for me to switch out my drink.
