A local man left social media users in a mix of laughter and disbelief after a video of him during a trolley dash at a local Shoprite store was shared online.

The clip, shared by TikTok user @mayfieldsquare, garnered massive views, likes, and comments from social media users who criticised him, and others who found the whole experience amusing.

The video begins as the shopper prepares for the trolley dash race. The man, who is not very fast, goes straight to the 10kg maize meal section and takes three bags before moving to take two bags of 10kg rice. The people around him, who are rooting for him, start to realise that he is too slow and motivate him to run to the meat section.

The Shoprite fill-a-trolley challenge

He gets to the deep freezer section and takes three bags of 5kg chicken portions from the deep freezer. Before leaving, he is advised to take 5kg drumsticks by those who are cheering him on, and he takes three.

He then runs to the cooking oil section and gets six 5-litre bottles. As he is about to move, he is shown a 10kg bag of sugar, which he quickly grabs.

SA debates the man's shopping strategy

The man’s lack of speed and shopping strategy was a huge source of amusement for the people who were cheering him on, and many viewers online. Many said they could tell that he was not used to shopping, questioning his strategy, but others argued that he did well.

Some asked if appliances were excluded from the game, saying that they were only people going for food. Others said that maize meal would have been the last thing on their minds, saying that the man's trolley could not move properly because of its heaviness.
