An anonymous man has been slammed online for spelling out his marriage proposal in mustard across four slices of white bread.
According to Daily Mail, the post popped up on a Facebook user’s feed before being shared to a group called ‘That’s it, I’m wedding shaming.’ Safe to say, it’s caused more outrage than Miley Cyrus bagging her relationship with Liam Hemsworth after their split.
We’re not sure what’s worse – the marriage proposal via bread, or being a member of a name and shame group. As we learned more about the saga the answer became horribly clear: the proposal.

The woman who posted the pic wrote, “That’s it, I’m proposal shaming. A girl on my news feed just shared pictures of her engagement and I’m dying.” We, however, are not dying. We’re just brimming with questions:
“Did the woman like mustard and is this some sort of inside joke?”
“…How old is that bread?”
“What was the recipient’s reaction?”
and finally…
“Did the couple just… throw the bread out afterwards?”
All of these questions are followed up with one beaming thought: “I really hope this is a joke.”
Unfortunately, the marriage proposal gets overwhelmingly worse when you pay closer attention to the image. Evidently the dude didn’t even bother to pre-plan the size of his writing because he ran out of space to write “you” twice. The bread actually reads: “I love will you marry me.”

Surely he could have sacrificed one extra slice for the girl of his dreams.
One wholesome person in the shaming group wrote, “Maybe there’s a cute back story. They met at a hot dog stand that ran out of hot dog buns?”
I’m calling it: that comment is downright naive because if that were true the couple probably would’ve spoken up by now.
The post also attracted another special type of human. The type who needs to be different just for the sake of being different. One woman commented, “‘Honestly this would have worked on me, I love sandwiches.”
Quite frankly, anyone who thinks mustard on bread constitutes a sandwich needs to re-think their standards. Someone even praised the proposal as “creative.”

I’m not sure how to say this lightly: the Internet needs a reality check. This guy did not think through his proposal at all. He simply reached into the cupboard after finishing a day at work, grabbed a bottle of mustard and whizzed down the words in 1min 30 seconds, tops.
That’s the real tragedy behind this mustard mess. Not only did the person proposing lack the effort to do something special, by posting it online he reveals he was genuinely proud of it too.
The Internet has spoken: he really could’ve mustard up something better.
