Since 1 January 2020, German law demands from retailers that they print a receipt for every purchase. However, the regulation has triggered not only anger but also artistic action among some of the affected businesses.

自2020年1月1日起，德國法律要求零售業者印出每筆消費的收據。然而，這項規定不只點燃了憤怒，還激起了受影響業者的藝術行動。

A French pastry chef in Bavaria decided to protest in an original way against this new law, by adding an edible receipt made of sugar on some of his pastries.

一名巴伐利亞的法式點心師傅決定用一種原始的方式抗議新法，為他的部分糕點加上一張用糖做成的可食用收據。

"At the moment, many bakers are protesting against these receipts and we thought we could also protest - in our own way. In France, we usually go out into the street, but this time we preferred to make a receipt that can be eaten, people can take it with them and that is, I think, also a nice form of protest," Ludovic Gerboin, Master baker said.

「當時，許多烘焙師都為了收據抗議，而我們認為可以用我們自己的方式抗議。在法國，我們通常會走上街頭，但這次我們選擇製作一張可以吃的收據，人們可以攜帶它在身邊，我想這也是一種好的抗議方式」，專業烘焙師魯多維奇．格博因說。

The promotions are well received by customers, even though normal receipts are still required in addition to their edible counterparts.

這項活動大獲顧客好評，雖然他們還是得額外開出正常的收據。
