Is that really right 3.5km for a slice of watermelon?
I was wondering the same thing – that doesn’t seem right. 350 metres maybe?
lol! I am also shocked by the watermelon run off… I mean its ~90% water, its definitely a mistake because there is just a 1km difference in comparison with 90g of Boerewors.
Is this over and above your daily allowance?
I will then much rather have 2 glasses of wine!
