A simple kitchen moment turned into a heated family debate when a young uncle decided to help himself to a massive serving of ice cream in a 5-litre container.

The clip shared by callme_nekah on Facebook garnered thousands of comments and sparked a conversation about household etiquette.

The video showed the man standing at a table next to the fridge, filling a long milkshake glass with ice cream. Everyone in the house began speaking out against the act, calling the young uncle out for his inconsideration. One family member noted that it was selfish to take such a large portion, especially since he remained unemployed and slept all day. Other voices in the background mumbled unhappily, claiming he would continue doing this throughout the day.

Relatives expressed frustration that he would take so much when there were many people and children in the house who also wanted the treat. They argued that he should pour a normal portion, noting that he would come back again to pour. Despite the verbal backlash, the man placed the 5-litre container inside the fridge and continued walking out the door with his dessert, looking unbothered.

"This is not about the ice cream, it’s about consideration. Everyone should get to enjoy this treat. Gluttony is a sin. I wonder if you guys would have the same reaction if it were most of the loaf of bread he was eating? Think of others."

"Enjoy the ice cream, bro."

User @Lerato Mohale added:

"That ice cream is probably supposed to last until New Year's. Bazodlani abantwana if iyabhubhudlwa *what are kids going to have if you're finishing everything)? Whether it’s a R100 bucket or not, that is not imperative. Ayikho R100 to buy another bucket."
