Is it true that women do more grocery shopping than men?<\/p>\n
Well, the contestants in the Caxton Reynolds Race 2014 put this myth to the test on Saturday, July 19, at Benoni Market Spar.<\/p>
Each team was given a grocery list with 20 items and they all had 10 minutes to collect as many items as they could from the shelves in the store.<\/p>\n
The team with the most items walked away with the highest points for this leg of the race.<\/p>
Team Kempton Express and The Tembisan collected the most items on the day .<\/p>\n
There was, however, a tie for third place, between team Bedfordview Edenvale News and Joburg East Express and the Joburg South team.<\/p>\n
To break the tie, one team member from each team had to stand in a -15 degrees freezer and the first member to come out would have lost out.<\/p>\n
This went on for 50 minutes and, fearing for the participants health and possible hypothermia, the organisers of the event offered the two teams a different tie-breaker, which they declined, and team Bedfordview and Edenvale News and Joburg East Express decided to give team Joburg South the third place for this leg of the race.<\/p>\n
Upon completing this task, the contestants had to quickly take part in a hotdog eating competition, in a race to win a R500 shopping voucher from Benoni Market Spar.<\/p>\n
Teams Benoni City Times and Germiston City News tied in this challenge and decided to split the voucher.<\/p>\n
Team Brakpan, unfortunately, was unable to make it to this task.<\/p>\n
The winners of this year\u2019s race will earn an all-expenses paid trip to Zanzibar, sponsored by SA Reynolds Travel Centre, in Springs.<\/p>\n
The next challenge will take place in Joburg South, at Kenilworth Market Spar, on Saturday, July 19.<\/p>\n
The challenge on this day will determine which three teams will be moving forward for the final race.<\/p>\n
