If you’re confused by a proliferation of people in your life encouraging you to procure baked goods, you’re not alone.
The phrase “let’s get this bread” has been growing in prominence on Twitter for the last week or so, and it’s left some people baffled.
The term itself is nothing new – it’s just a sort of encouragement to work hard and get the rewards that the work brings.
