From steak to sausage and bean, all are presented in a deliciously golden flakiness and are scored in differently decorative ways.

It wasn't long before Greggs cottoned on to the discovery, and tweeted that they were "losing their heads" over it.

But the lols didn't end there, as other social media users jumped on the Banter-wagon:
