The patties - cow poop mixed with hay and dried in the sun, made mainly by women in rural areas and used to fuel fires - was actually tasted by someone and the review of the same was posted on Amazon.

The man purchased cow dung cakes from Amazon and actually ate it instead of using it for "religious purposes" as mentioned on the website. "Ridiculous taste," the person, who opted to remain anonymous, said in his review for the product on Amazon.

In the screenshot, the customer can be seen bashing the brand and giving it a poor rating as the cow dung cakes were muddy in taste, while also advising the seller to do something about its crunchiness.

"It tasted very bad when I ate it. It was grass-like and muddy in taste. I got loose motions after that. Please be a little more hygienic while manufacturing. Also, pay attention to the taste and crunchiness of this product," read the amusing product review on Amazon.
