User @Slender asked:
"Don't you have nyaopes there? Here in Jozi, you can defrost it and someone somewhere will cook it😂."
User @DaddyAdrian™️warned:
"That’s the fastest way to make it go off. The correct way is to defrost it in the fridge overnight so that the bacteria don’t get a chance to flourish and multiply."
User @Detergents_R'us Cape Town said:
"I'd forget it there😂."
User @Cats74 commented:
