A shared a viral video that struck a comedic chord with thousands of social media users, detailing a humorous misunderstanding with his wife about the price of a Carrol Boyes bread bin.

He humorously stated that his wife called it a "Carol Bouwer" bread bin, mistaking the name of the high-end design brand Carrol Boyes. He then joked that even if the bread bin were a Crocket & Jones brand, the R4,500 price tag would still not be justified.

The case of the costly bread bin

Puzzled, TikTok user @vuyani_buwe admitted he made a mistake by asking his wife if the bread bin makes the dough and bakes it on its own, to warrant such a cost, noting that women knew how to make their minds spin. He stressed his confusion over the amount being spent on an item that would only be used to keep a R20 load of bread. He further pointed out the irony that his wife doesn't even eat bread, and the family member who does is heading off to university next year.

Others defended the brand and said their items were timeless
