A young lady living in the United States has sparked a lively debate on social media after receiving a surprise gift from her elderly neighbor. The lady, who shared a video of the goodies on TikTok, wondered if she should eat them, given the unusual circumstances.
The lady, @afriyie_gmb23, explained that her neighbor, an old woman, approached her while she was checking her mail. The woman asked for her name and then handed her a bag of goodies. The lady was taken aback by the kind gesture, which she found both surprising and suspicious.
“If it happened in Africa, we would say she is a witch,” the lady joked, referencing the common stereotype that older women who are overly kind or generous might have ulterior motives.
The lady’s video sparked a range of reactions, with some people advising her to eat the goodies and others warning her to be cautious. Some commenters suggested that the old woman might be lonely and seeking companionship, while others speculated that the gifts might be laced with something sinister.

One commenter, kiki_niks, advised the lady to be friendly and accepting, saying, “She’s lonely and the snacks are an ice breaker. She just wants to be your friend.”
Another commenter, Lilley in a valley, was more cautious, saying, “Yoh, I couldn’t. I’ll take them and store them in my house, but I’m not eating that. I’m too African.”
