A woman in Mzansi has caused a stir online after boldly declaring that South Africans have been eating Weetbix incorrectly for years.

Weet-Bix has been a staple of the South African morning table for many generations and is the country's best-selling breakfast cereal. With a high fibre content, 97% wholegrain content, and no colourants or preservatives, Weet-Bix is all about nutritious deliciousness and supporting a healthy start to the day.

Weet-Bix is a whole-grain wheat breakfast cereal that is made by Bokomo in South Africa and the Sanitarium Health Food Company in Australia and New Zealand.

Woman claims South Africans eat Weetbix wrong

The woman who took her social media account under the handle @blossomwithbosslady began by addressing viewers with a surprising claim. “I am sorry, did you know that Weetbix are not supposed to be eaten with milk?” she said, immediately grabbing attention.

@blossomwithbosslady went on to explain that, contrary to what most South Africans believe, the cereal was originally meant to be consumed with water and sugar.

“Did you know that… Weetbix is supposed to be eaten with just water? But you would not know, right, because you don’t read. You just assume everything goes with milk,” she added in the clip that she posted on TikTok.

@blossomwithbosslady further insisted that her way of eating Weetbix soaked in water and sweetened with sugar is the correct method and encouraged others to follow suit.

“I eat my Weetbix with water, so should you”, she concluded.

Her comments have since sparked heated debate on social media, with many South Africans defending the long-standing tradition of eating the popular cereal with milk, fruit, or yoghurt. Others expressed curiosity, saying they might try her method out of interest, while some flatly rejected the idea, calling it “strange."

@blossomwithbosslady's remarks have opened up a discussion about how cultural habits and personal preferences shape the way people enjoy common foods.

The young content creator's water-and-sugar recipe has left Mzansi divided since the video was published on 20 August 2025 on TikTok.
