“Great product development by Woolies. Keep going will surely try it out. I like innovation as long as it is organic. I mixed wine and sparkling white wine this weekend in one bottle wanna review it a week later. Only 5% of experiments make it but science never fold.”

“Black mamba”: Mzansi roasting disappointed man who burned his food

Looking at another article regarding food fails, Briefly News wrote that one South African guy has headed online to share his disappointment after trying so hard to prepare a meal.

The young guy shared a snap on social media where he says he made an attempt to cook but burned the food. It seems the chap was looking to have some grilled wors but his oven was too hot or he was busy and forgot to monitor the meal.

The wors can be seen extremely burned and it’s even black. His caption tells a story that he was disappointed. He wrote:

“That time I'm hungry hungry.”
