A Tiktok user went viral after posting a video where she and her friend managed to get a free kebab from an Arab restaurant in Bukit Bintang by using pickup lines on the server. In her caption, she suggested that good looks can be used to get free stuff. This caused a negative reaction from social media users, who called her out for being distasteful and flashy.

However, it was later discovered that the video was likely sponsored by the restaurant to boost its business. A Twitter user posted a screenshot of a conversation with the waiter in the video, who claimed that the entire scene was fake and that the Tiktok user asked him to act it out.

The situation raises questions about the ethics of content creators in producing sponsored materials and the responsibility of social media users to fact-check before bashing someone online. Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
