The whole invention is far-fetched anyways. The bread would dissolve into something similar to baby food before you could sufficiently erode the mortar. Why didn't they pick up the key on the floor? There was no key on the floor. Besides that, the door locked from the outside, so a key on the inside would do no good (TVV p. 173) I'm going to assume that the "bread" was actually made of sponge, fake bread that the villains provided to make the children suffer more. (:

At one point, Sunny refers to the bread using the word "brioche," which is a kind of French cake-bread with no direct equivalent in the English language.

According to this definition, brioche s a soft, light-textured bread, often made in sort of a fluted knob shape. It could concievably be spongy, especially if badly prepared.

So in short, a sponge cake (?).
I made this thread long ago and have given up knowing what it really looked like. But there's one thing...

LOL. Yesh. A sponge cake. Made of sponge. I always thought that the bench was darker, and indeed much dirtier.
