Durban TikToker reveals what's in mom's ice-cream tubs

Ah, moms and their ability to repurpose plastic containers...

When we think about households in KZN, many have full trust in the ice-cream tub when it comes to storing leftovers or even food prep for future meals. 

TikToker Tee Pillay was home for the holidays and decided to do a deep-dive into her mom's freezer. 

Tee, like many others, admitted that when reaching into her mother's freezer, she has been sorely disappointed many times when opening up an ice-cream tub and not finding any ice-cream inside. 

We're not sure if she got approval from mom before opening her ice-cream tubs, but it was humbling to find items of food inside that many others can relate to.

  • "The way I laughed so loud 😂 this is me, except I'm breaking the generational culture and labeling my ice cream containers"
  • "Welcome to south Africa where you will never find ice cream in the freezer"
  • "It's called upcycling. our mothers are the original environmentally friendly humans"
  • "It's almost as though the containers don't come with ice cream"
