Flavour confusion: According to reports, the bread tastes nothing like watermelon

The bread - which tastes nothing like watermelon - is made with charcoal, green tea and strawberry food colouring to create the bright colours of the seeds, rind and flesh.

The bread is also sold with yellow 'flesh'.

A YouTube video showing how the bizarre bread can be created at home reveals that it can taste like chocolate, strawberry or green tea.

Varieties: The bread comes with either pink or yellow 'flesh', and the vibrant colours are created with food dye

Hundreds of fans have uploaded snaps of the snack to social media, with one Instagram user saying they had driven two hours just to sample the bread.

Other social media shots show the small store with a crowd of eager customers snaking out on to the street.
