From May 16th to 17th, Canadians putting up with mediocre buns at gatherings can claim free freshly-baked COBS Bread Gourmet Buns, via delivery or local pickup.

VANCOUVER, BC, May 11, 2026 /CNW/ - This May long weekend from May 16th-17th, COBS Bread is answering the call for Canadians reporting "bun-mergencies" with the launch of the Save My Buns rescue service. Simply report a bun-mergency (anything from burnt to stale or unsatisfying) at SaveMyBuns.ca, to receive a complimentary delivery or digital coupon for COBS Bread's freshly baked Gourmet Buns. COBS is here to save your buns and ensure your weekend gathering gets off to a perfect start.

After all, May long weekend is the official kickoff to summer BBQing and gatherings, and COBS Bread believes that anything less than a freshly-baked bun isn't just a disappointment—it's a "bun-mergency." Save My Buns makes freshly baked Gourmet Buns accessible to everyone, ensuring no Canadian has to settle for a crummy bun during the first BBQ of the season.

"At COBS Bread, we know a BBQ is only as good as the bun that holds it together," says Aaron Gillespie, President of COBS Bread. "We believe that Canadians deserve better than 'just okay' bread, so we're stepping in to prevent your next bun-mergency with our freshly baked Gourmet Hamburger and Hot Dog Buns."

How to Report a Bun-mergency
