“Why Is It So Accurate?”: SA Men’s KFC Simba Chips Song Has Mzansi Backing Them

• Three young men filmed themselves doing an energetic taste-test of KFC-branded Simba chips in a now-viral Instagram video
• The clip was posted by metsi_h2o and quickly gained attention for its comedic energy and catchy Simba chip song
• South Africans flooded the comments tagging both Simba and KFC, calling on the brands to take notice

Three young South African men turned a simple snack into pure entertainment. On 5 August 2026, Instagram user @metsi_h2o posted a video of himself and two friends singing about KFC-branded Simba chips and left Mzansi amused.

The trio focused on two flavours: Original Recipe and Zinger Wings. Their energy was infectious from start to finish, complete with singing, exaggerated reactions to the size of the chips, and the kind of commentary that only true snack enthusiasts can deliver. The song included lyrics:

"Di simba tsa KFC...Bona a makakang!!! (look at the size)"

What made the video take off was the song. The men broke into an impromptu Simba chips jingle delivering it with the confidence of a full advertising campaign. The combination of humour, relatability, and genuine excitement over a packet of crisps struck a chord with South Africans online. Viewers quickly began tagging Simba and KFC directly in the comments, effectively demanding the brands pay attention to what was clearly a free and very effective endorsement.
