A remarkable and rather unconventional project entertained many individuals across the internet.

The man, TikTok user @iam_aarespee, shared his video on the platform, attracting massive views, likes, and comments from entertained social media users.

The dedicated guy, @iam_aarespee, started his unusual quest at four o'clock in the morning, demonstrating an impressive commitment to his uncommon goal. He carefully counted between eleven thousand and twelve thousand grains every hour, noting his progress on a piece of paper to be added at the end of his project. By 11:20 AM, he was less than halfway through the rice bag but pressed on with relentless determination.

He openly shared that at this midway point, he felt a strong urge to surrender, yet he persisted with admirable resolve. The clip captured his visible excitement as he placed the very last grain of rice, sitting at the kitchen counter at his home. Upon completion, his final calculation revealed an astonishing 100,001 grains within the 2kg Tastic pack. He concluded his video by playfully challenging his followers to suggest his next counting project.

Others jokingly suggested he items to count, which included salt and flour

Mzansi reacts to the man's post

The extraordinary video garnered a flood of comments from social media users who responded with hilarious and light-hearted remarks. Many commended the man for his incredible patience and perseverance, acknowledging the dedication required for such a time-consuming and repetitive task.

Some viewers jokingly asked if he had double-checked his findings, playfully asking him to try other rice brands, to see which one had more grains. Others added further humour to the discussion by proposing more challenging items for him to count next, such as grains of salt or baking flour.

User @Lesedi Sebola said:

"Count another bag of rice so we know that it’s equal."

User @ssac Hayes teased:

"Where did you get the bag? Would Shoprite rice have more grains? Where’s the control? Dependent and independent variables? This experiment has to be redone."

User @Tee Jay commented:

"If you recount the grains after boiling the whole 2kg, that 100k figure doubles. This is because rice grains mate and reproduce at high temperatures🤭. To test this, boil a cup of rice and watch it fill that pot. The whole family can be fed💀."

User @geazy joked:

"I had to like it because I respect the dedication."

User @luks said:

"Try 10 kg."

User @Kingdom added:

"Thank you, my brother, for doing such a good job. Kindly compare different brands so that we can buy knowing who has the smallest 2kg rice. 😂😂😂😂😂. While at it. Please measure 1L milk from different brands and see if they give a litre or if they are knocking us."
