02) Are the contents sweet? Calm down, BK, no.
03) Is it edible? In its raw form it would not kill you to eat it,but once prepared it it is usually consumed.
03a) Is it edible? No.(Special version for Delacuesta, who has expressed a dislike for complex answers)

2) I have absolutely no idea how big a 800g loaf is but it would fit inside my breadbox.
