Greggs' fans have recently discovered a useful detail on the packaging of every pasty and sausage roll, which seems to have been overlooked by many. Despite being too eager to tuck into their steak bakes and sausage, bean and cheese melts, some customers have failed to notice the handy tool on the back of their paper wrappers.

A Reddit user confessed in the CasualUK subreddit: "Never looked at a Greggs wrapper before," before revealing that each wrapper features a pasty guide. Upon closer inspection, it's clear that each product has different patterns on its exterior, with tick boxes indicating specifics for breakfast items, such as included sauces.

The revelation sparked a flurry of responses, with one person admitting: "I only noticed this the other day too," while another joked: "I'd like this framed on my wall."

Another user highlighted an additional benefit, explaining: "It also assists the server to remember the order with the tick boxes for sauces for sandwiches. The drawings on the bags are new in past couple months and the ticky breakfast boxes on the side have been on the bags for years."

One Reddit user even shared how his 96 year old grandmother finds "excitement" in the wrappers' details, reports the Mirror.

"Every time she reads the wrapper and is excited by the menu though she never changes from the chicken bake. It makes her happy to explore the menu so I am happy that she's happy. £2 for a chicken bake that is really well filled, hot and fresh, what's not to like (her words)."
