The clip quickly generated strong reactions from those who came across it on the platform.

According to the explanation she provided alongside the video, the food had spoilt by the time she woke up the following morning.

She lamented that the rice had already gone bad before the day began, which caused her decision to throw it away rather than attempt to consume it.

In her words:

"This is how some of the Christmas rice you gave to your neighbor yesterday went this morning. I was only throwing it away because it’s fried rice before I woke up this morning it have already spoiled."
