• Despite the lack of speed, the playful coaching and family dynamic added humour, making the video go viral on TikTok

A Woolworths trolley dash video has left viewers both amused and underwhelmed after a shopper’s frantic dash for groceries didn’t quite go as planned.

According to the video posted on 11 February 2026 by TikTok user @princess_mkabayi_mall, a woman is seen assisting a man who pushed the trolley while he grabbed items from the store shelves.

The pair were participating in a timed "Dash4Deals" challenge, aiming to collect as many groceries as possible within the set period.

Despite the urgency, both the man and woman were noticeably slow in grabbing the items, taking their time with selections ranging from meat and fruit to soft drinks.

By the time the allotted period ended, the trolley was far from full, leaving social media users expressing their disappointment in the comments section. Many joked that the duo’s pace was more of a casual stroll than a dash, with some saying they expected a more chaotic and frantic display typical of trolley dash challenges.

The video was captioned: "🤣 Dash4Deals Week 2 – Lourika’s Woolworths Dash! 🛒 Our other Week 2 dasher, Lourika, chose Woolworths… Her husband and daughter did the dashing while Lourika played coach on the sidelines, shouting ‘Hurry, hurry!’ the whole time 😂. Dad was definitely more go-with-the-flow… but between the ‘hurry hurry’ vibes and the giggles, we had a few good laughs with this one!"

Although they did not impress in terms of speed or quantity of items collected, viewers found humour in the lighthearted approach, particularly Lourika’s coaching from the sidelines. The playful interaction and family dynamic added an entertaining twist to what could have been a straightforward shopping challenge.
