Reply to [WP] Cake Wars: A gritty war documentary about the horrors of the global bakers' conflict that took millions of lives. by azzahir3

Cake. What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you think of it? Delicious, isn't it?

But should it?

You must thinking why is this author talking about cake all of a sudden. Dear viewers, put away your cakes before strapping in for tonight episode "Cake Wars," a show that sounds like a bake off but is actually a divine tragedy that took over a billion lives.

The year was 2020, the world was fighting something new, something unknown, the Corona virus. But unbeknownst to all another threat loomed ahead of the world. Cake.

First used as a weapon of destruction by a Country X to end cold war and start an actual war. A meagre cake. Yes, you heard it right. Just a small dose of poison and a sweet treat and an offer of peace turned into a horn of war.

It has been debated if that cake was exchanged and that the real cake was infact thrown away and the poisoned cake was used by Country X's opposition to start the war they desperately wanted but all this speculation bear no fruit as their has been little to no proof.

Soon, the world of dessert was the weapon of choice. It was easy. The recipies that could be tinkered with 90% success rate and virtually untraceable.

The horrors of war is the one thing that kept it from being funny. It wasn't Country Y dropped a cupcake bomb on Country A that every single thing resembling cake was banned. It's design, the dessert everything.

Poor bakers could not raise their voices because cake was the new weapon. And for almost half a century war raged on and cake remained banned.

It wasn't until peace was established in 2050 that the ban on cake was lifted. It took even longer for people to start trusting it again. In fact, Red Velvet cake, once a crowd favorite, was considered bad. Even now people are afraid to buy it because they think that the red colour comes from the blood of the innocents from the war.

Peace has resigned for centuries now and to think it could be broken by just another supposedly inconsequential thing like cake is truly scary.

On the next episode of That Happened we'll dive into the world of Oyster armies raging war on the found city of Atlantis.
