The sandwiches ingredients allegedly include [chocolate](http://time.com/4693048/chocolate-history-museum/), orange and lettuce — but no butter — on a fresh baguette. For those looking for a more savory and herbaceous bite, customers can even buy licorice-stuffed baguettes, called “Liquorice Allsorts \[sic\].” One such customer, Ollie Cole, spoke to Phil, the owner of Channings Newsagents, and asked him about his recent sandwich phenomenon. In a Medium [essay](https://medium.com/@ProducerOllie/allsorts-and-chocolate-orange-in-a-baguette-only-in-cardiff-9373cb59ab43#.lzisry3ur), Cole wrote that Phil came up with the sandwiches “just to add a bit of fun to the shelves.” According to Phil, The “Marmite & Jelly Beans” delicacy and similar sandwiches will “never beat a ham salad,” but the sweets-filled baguettes seem to be popular on the internet, as unlikely foods often are. [WalesOnline](http://www.walesonline.co.uk/whats-on/food-drink-news/cardiff-newsagent-sells-baguettes-filled-12775662) verified that this is a real thing that’s happening.
