The Shoprite trolley dash is a popular competition run at malls across South Africa. Lucky winners get between 60 and 120 seconds to race through the aisles. The goal is simple: pack your trolley with as much as you can for free.

Most South Africans treat it like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Bulk meat, cooking oil, and rice tend to be the crowd favourites. That is why this duo's choices hit differently.

Two litres of Fusion juice had Mzansi seeing red

The Bronkhorstspruit Mall posted the video on TikTok, and it quickly caught fire online. Viewers could not get over seeing Fusion juice land in the trolley. To many South Africans, that was a deeply questionable call. The duo also only grabbed two trays of beef, which struck viewers as a major wasted opportunity.

The comments section turned into a full venting session. One viewer said they now knew they had anger issues. Another said they did not want to watch anymore. Many felt the contestants had no real plan walking in.

With food prices squeezing budgets across the country, South Africans take trolley dashes seriously. Watching someone waste the chance on Fusion juice was simply too much to bear.
