VIDEOS: Something"s floating in my Coke; spaza shop food questioned

The authenticity of products bought from spaza shops in townships throughout the country is being questioned.


Products bought from ‘my friend’ – a term used to refer to foreign nationals who have mushrooming shops in townships nationwide – are being examined.


In videos, the quality of bread and two bottles of branded cooldrinks have many on social media crying foul.


In the first video, a woman questions the quality of bread she has had for longer than two weeks. The woman claims ‘Pakistanis’, another word referring to small shop owners in townships, sold her the loaf of white bread, which after more than two weeks has maintained its shape.


The woman goes on to say the bread remained intact despite the time and date difference.


“This bread I bought more than two weeks ago at a spaza shop, ‘my friend’s spazas’. It’s still fresh, it’s still bouncy, there’s is no odour, there’s no mould, there’s nothing. It’s still as I bought it. It seems, what they do is they changed packaging, and they buy these bread from wherever they buy it from, in bulk. They change it [packaging] every week and you think you’re buying fresh bread but clearly it’s not.”


The unnamed woman did a test on the “non-changing” bread.  She immersed it in water for more than two hours. The bread, according to the woman, did not change or break apart. Instead, it was almost sponge-like.


She ends the footage saying “we are dying a slow death.”


In the second video, something appears to be floating inside a sealed Coca-Cola bottle. The people in the video shine a cellphone torch behind the Coke bottle.


They shake the bottle and after a few seconds small floating substances appear in the lit part of the dark Coke liquid. The people in the video can be heard shouting in disbelief.


“This is wrong,” says one of the women. The cooldrink somehow had a sealed top, which is usually a firm sign to indicate the beverage has not been tampered with.

In another video.  A Fanta-type drink is also tested. A piece of paper is placed in the drink. The paper appears to absorb the orange colour.

Nothing is worse than being the butt of someone’s joke… unless, of course, you like that sort of thing, which might also make you that special person who enjoys making your own friends feel stupid for simply existing. Well, maybe not that vicious, but it does take a certain kind of person to be the one who pranks others. For the funny zodiac signs, they don’t mind making jokes at someone else’s expense. And according to astrology, there are certain signs who take pride in being jokesters. Whether or not you follow horoscopes, there is a thing called  schadenfreude , which means to take joy in the pain or humiliation of others. For some, this is a form of entertainment. Practical jokes and practical jokers are both wanted and unwanted. Why som

Scaptia beyonceae . Crikey steveirwini . These are the scientific names of just a few of the nearly 25,000 species of plants, animals, fungi and micro-organisms discovered and named in Australia in the past decade. In each case, the honoured celebrity’s name is Latinised and added to the name of an existing or new genus – a set of closely related species that share common characteristics. In the above examples, Microleo (meaning “tiny lion”) is a genus of extinct carnivorous possums, while Scaptia is a genus of colourful horseflies. And in the case of Crikey steveirwini , a rare snail from northern Queensland, even the genus name honours Irwin, in the form of his favoured colloquialism. Read more: It’s

The Onion"s chief: Nothing funny about taking away kids from parents

Image
Over the past 20 years, Chad Nackers has seen the rise of hypocritical statements, those irony-free assertions in which the entire universe yells, “That sounds like a headline from ‘The Onion’” — but isn’t. The Onion’s editor-in-chief has always tried to mix the straight yuks with the knowing punch of satire, a similar challenge to the nation’s editorial cartoonists. “We haven’t really changed anything we do,” Nackers said in an interview Monday, “but the world has been much crazier and absurd, and that’s what people should be worried about.” Like Rob Rogers, the well-respected Pittsburgh Post-Gazette cartoonist fired after criticizing Trump, Nackers sees little humor  in the Trump administration’s separation of children from their parents along the border. (Editors’ note: The Monday afternoon effort just hurts ). “There’s nothing funny about what’s going on,” Nackers says. For The Onion, that means “it’s a satirical commentary on things, rather than ‘let’s laugh about it.’” One of its
