Some called for justice over the TikTok video as the women's ratings were not what they expected. With a visibly turned face, she shook her head at the classic chip brand Flings and gave a sad rating of 6/10. Green Fizzers got an even more depressing rating, scoring only 3/10.

This is not the first time the internet has been divided over food. Briefly News showed how one TikTokker cooked grasshoppers.

With a rainbow nation of people, we won't always agree on which food we love the most. We can agree that South African food will always taste like home.
