Mzansi could not get enough of this one

Myk’s trick was simple but brilliant in execution. He picked up a bag of Doritos in-store, slipped his cash inside, and sealed it back up. At the till, the cashier asked whether he was paying with cash or a card. He chose cash, then calmly tore open the chip bag right in front of her and pulled out the money to pay.

The cashier’s face said everything. She had absolutely no idea what had just happened. When she asked Myk how the money got in there, he told her it was a new flavour that comes with cash inside.
