Mzansi reacts to weird Smarties sandwich

We've heard of weird food combinations but this one just looks wrong.

We've come across some crazy food combinations in our time – some have intrigued us, while others have left us confused. 

This latest one? We'll admit we're on the fence – but hey, as the saying goes, "each to their own". 

In a video posted on social media, we see a person making a sandwich with Nestlé Smarties. They spread Smarties across a slice of bread before toasting it on a sandwich press. 

While many might find it surprising to see Smarties paired with bread, those familiar with the sweet treat know it’s often a hit when eaten with popcorn.

It's not unusual for people to use chocolate on a sandwich – Nutella, for example, has made a name for itself as a chocolate spread. However, watching the colour bleed from the Smarties onto the bread doesn't look appetising. 

That's our take on it, and it seems many social media users agree, sharing that this is not a snack they'd be rushing to try.

  • "You should be banned from this planet, not just from this app."
  • "This looks horrible."
  • "January birthday cake."
  • "Currently working on controlling facial expressions. This video proves I have LOTS of work to do."

Despite Mzansi's lack of enthusiasm, the TikTok user behind the creation, who goes by 'Just For Fun', kept saying the sandwich was delicious. 

After all, you can’t rule something out without giving it a go.
