Media personality Boity Thulo had tweeps nostalgic when she posted an image of a "worcestershire sauce" bottle on Twitter.

The TV personality asked her followers for their version on pronouncing the name of the sauce which has been around for most of our childhood.

She wrote: “How do y’all pronounce this? At home, it’s always been and still is “Voster sous” 🤷🏾‍♀️🤣 I’ve heard some people say the whole word and I’m like ”Huh?😕” 🤣🤣“

Thulo, who was recently voted the “Most Stylish Performing Artist in Music” at the 2022 SA Style Award, had tweeps digging deep in their past to find the names they called the famous sauce.
