In other weird news making headlines, Briefly.co.za recently reported on a man who shared a pic of him defrosting meat in his bath. South African people love a good serving of meat and that's one thing many of us can agree on.

What we seemingly cannot agree on, is how we prepare our meat. This was proven after a local man shared a picture of the meat he was defrosting in his bathtub. @lindz_malindz recently took to Twitter to share a picture of what some considered an innovative idea - defrosting meat in a bathtub that looked too large to fit into a microwave.

He then asked his followers if he was the only one who resorted to those measures when it came to defrosting their meat. Twitter users, however, seemed very distracted by the candles that had created a romantic ambience for the meat that was defrosting in the bathtub. Confused Mzansians took to the comment section to ask what purpose the lit candles were serving in the entire process.
