A Schoolboy’s Viral Video Puts A South African Retail Store On Blast

• A young boy shared a TikTok video showing off his questionable chocolate milkshake, sparking outrage among viewers.
• The clip quickly went viral, garnering tons of views, likes, and heated discussions online.
• South Africans flooded the comments section, criticizing both the store and the milkshake brand.

Let me tell you about a situation that’s got everyone in South Africa talking. A student at a local school decided to speak up after purchasing what he claimed was a spoiled chocolate milkshake from a well-known retail chain. And let me tell you, this isn’t your average consumer complaint—this story blew up on social media faster than you can say "viral."

Why Did This Chocolate Milkshake Go Viral?

Here’s the deal: TikTok user @itsyagirlprecious08 posted a video showing off his so-called "chocolate" milkshake, which he claimed to have bought from Spar, one of South Africa's go-to grocery chains. But here’s the kicker—when he poured it out, the liquid was greenish instead of the rich, chocolatey brown we all know and love. Now, if you’re anything like me, you’re probably thinking, "What in the world is going on here?"

In the video, @itsyagirlprecious08 didn’t hold back. He captioned the post with a direct callout to Spar, saying:

But wait, there’s more! The young man also pointed out that the milkshake’s expiration date was set for January of the following year, meaning it technically wasn’t expired. Despite this, the bizarre color had people scratching their heads and questioning the quality of the product. Within just three days, the video amassed over 561,000 views, thousands of likes, and a flood of comments from users who were anything but impressed.
