Cultural Note
The padaria (bakery) is a cornerstone of Brazilian daily life, and buying 'dez pãezinhos' (ten bread rolls) is a morning ritual for many families. Scores and ratings in Brazil typically use a scale of zero to ten rather than percentage-based systems — 'tirar dez' means to get a perfect score.
