South Africans are 'drunk' on hot cross buns TheCapeArgus EasterWeekend
Cape Town - Once the video of a traffic officer taking a breathalyser test after eating hot cross buns hit social media , and the result of it registering a false reading, it wasn't long before South Africans started finding the humour.
He is then offered hot cross buns and after consuming just two bites of the spicy treats his breath is again tested. This time it registers an alcohol level of 0.21. In South Africa, a breath alcohol content of 0.24mg per 1 000ml, or a blood alcohol limit of 0.05g per 100ml means you are legally drunk. First polony tried to kill us now Hot Cross buns are trying to send us to prison! wtf up with food nowadays???#hotcrossbuns pic.twitter.com/o62PJEo1YMDon't worry, I'm ubering. pic.twitter.
While the origin of the video is unknown, it became a talking topic across the country with many law enforcement agencies weighing in on the matter. "It must also be noted that the device used in the video is only a hand-held screening device and that the proper breath test which is submitted to court is done with a far more sophisticated machine.""Yeast converts sugar into carbon dioxide and ethanol, the latter which would be detected by a breathalyzer.
