Australian celebrity chef, Pete Evans, was trying to share a recipe for flour with his social media followers but accidentally uploaded a recipe for cocaine instead!
Many of Mr Evans' fans were suffering from an embarrassing lack of banana bread photos on Instagram.
Instead of laughing at their misfortune for living in a coronavirus-struck area where flour was hard to find, Pete Evans decided to heroically answer their prayers.
"I've been up for 2 days trying this recipe out and it's a total banger," read the eyebrow-raising caption beneath what was clearly a formula for preparing jungle-grade cocaine. The proceeding hashtags are what Mr Evans' insists, prove his error and innocence "#flour #flourpower #getitinya"
Within hours, the recipe was shared thousands of times and fans were quick to comment and react on their baking results.
"Very moreish!!!" wrote one follower.
"This is very strong stuff," wrote another. "The kids are crying with their eyes open and begging for more. #greatsuccess #godblessyoupete"
Chef Evans, seemingly unaware of the mishap, continued the conversation and bragged of his 'recipe' by posting gifs congratulating himself.
"Who's your flour daddy?" he jokingly asked his fans who simply could not get enough of the ingredient.
A full 24 hours passed before Mr Evans was seemingly made aware of, or forced to take down the mistake. He posted a suspiciously erratic apology soon after.
"Yo! To all my fans who used my 'flour' recipe to bake with. #Oops! Please take care, i uploaded the wrong pic - that was for #cocaine instead. There are rumours that coke kills COVID-19 but who knows tbh. Can't be worse than disinfectant. #flourdaddy"
.Whilst not a crime, authorities and law enforcement are investigating and are asking Instagram to remove the 185,000 new followers Mr Evans 'dealt to' in those 24 hours.
