The clip, which has been circulating widely on social media, showcased the contestant sprinting through the supermarket aisles as soon as the bell rang, but her final haul has left Mzansi divided.
In the video, the woman quickly grabbed two large packets of milk and placed them in her trolley, followed by two bottles of Coca-Cola. She then added a packet of rice, four blocks of butter, two large packs of chicken, two polonies, a tray of eggs, cheese, and yoghurt. Despite the wide variety of groceries, her trolley appeared barely half full by the end of the dash.
Many online users expected her to collect higher-value or bulkier items to maximise the once-off opportunity, a common strategy viewers have seen in other viral trolley dash clips. Instead, the relatively modest selection had people questioning her approach.
Mzansi’s reactions, however, were mixed. Some defended her choices, noting that she prioritised essentials that would last a while, while others expressed disappointment, joking that she left money on the table by not filling the trolley more aggressively.
Social media users chimed in with humour and frustration, with comments ranging from playful teasing to serious suggestions on how she could have improved her haul. Several even shared their own fantasy trolley dash strategies, sparking a lively discussion about what truly counts as a "smart" grocery grab.
Despite the criticism, many applauded her calm approach and practical selections, pointing out that essentials like chicken, dairy products, and rice are among the most valuable everyday items. The video that was shared by social media user Soshanguve Mall on 30 November 2025 on Facebook went viral online.
