No booze in our hot cross buns, says Checkers
In the video, a gentleman dressed in law enforcement garb is asked to blow into a breathalyser machine, which then displays a reading indicating that he is sober.
The officer is then encouraged to take a few bites from a hot cross bun. Subsequently, when he blows into the breathalyser again the machine produces a (false) positive reading of 0.21mg. The legal alcohol breath limit for driving in South Africa is less than 0.24mg per 1,000ml of breath.
We’re in trouble!

Especially during the Easter Weekend with Hot Cross Buns ��
Surely there must be some malfunction here?
If this is true, imagine the unlawful arrests!
You eat 3 of these buns, you’re done!
Can the authorities clarify please! pic.twitter.com/T9k4dmrV5C
The retailer says it's been inundated with requests for its hot cross bun recipe and clarity on the breathalyser reading. Shoppers are also asking to place bulk orders and want the hot cross bun range to be extended to Checkers LiquorShops, and even to be sold all year round.
As is expected, South African Twitter has reacted with some hilarious tweets:
